Oak Creek Shooting has been the worst attack on Sikhs ever in United States. 6 innocent Sikhs died while 3 were injured after a deadly attack on a Gurudwara located at Oak Creek in Wisconsin, United States.
Plot
Wade Michael Page, Oak Creek Shooting Suspect
A man identified as Wade Michael Page, who served in the U.S. Army for about six years, with  heavy build, bald white a and wearing a sleeveless T-shirt came up at the Gurudwara located at Oak Creek.  About 300 to 400 people were reported to be at the gurdwara during the time of the shooting . The temple was preparing for a meal which was scheduled to take place later in the day. Page walked up to  Satwant Singh Kaleka, the President of Sikh Gurudwara and killed him on the spot.
He then stalked through the temple as congregants, including women preparing a meal for services, ran for shelter and barricaded themselves in bathrooms and prayer halls. They made desperate phone calls and sent anguished texts pleading for help as confusion and fear took hold.
When  a 911 call  was made about 10:25 a.m. (11:25 a.m. ET),  Police was rushed to the spot  and killed the shooter, but one  officer got several bullets.
The gunman allegedly shot a police officer ten times as the officer tried to help another victim. The officer survived the shooting, but remained hospitalized Monday morning with serious injuries. The suspected gunman was later confronted and killed by another officer.
The first officer on the scene, Lt. Brian Murphy, entered a driveway and found a victim in the parking lot. As the officer left his car to help, Michael Page basically ambushed him. Â Other officers arrived and saw the suspect in the parking lot and asked him to drop his weapon. Â He didn’t respond, fired his weapon and hit a squad car and was shot dead by an officer.
Investigators who picked through the building afterward found four bodies inside the temple and two other victims outside, plus the gunman.
The wounded police officer had been shot eight or nine times in the face and extremities at close range with a handgun. None of the wounds were life-threatening.  The gunman had used a 9mm semi-automatic pistol, which was recovered at the scene.
The children inside the temple taking part in a birthday party in the basement of the facility were among the first to hear the gunfire. They allegedly first thought it was fireworks. When they realized it was gunfire, they were the ones who ran and warned the adults.
Reason
Authorities said they were treating the attack as an act of domestic terrorism. American Sikhs said they have often been singled out for harassment, and occasionally violent attack, since the September 11, 2001, attacks because of their colorful turbans and beards.Some unspecified evidence suggests race or ethnicity may have played a role in the violence, but no links to extremist groups have been confirmed.
Witnesses
“He did not speak, he just began shooting,” said Harpreet Singh, relaying a description of the attack from the wife of his uncle, temple president Satwant Singh Kaleka.
Ven Boba Ri, a member of the temple’s committee, said the man started shooting after he walked up to a priest who was standing outside, and shot him. Then he went inside and started shooting.
A Lady was in the front room when the shooter walked in. She said the 6-foot-tall bald white man — who worshippers said they had never before seen at the temple — seemed like he had a purpose and knew where he was going.
Sunny Singh, 21, of Milwaukee, said a friend pulled into the temple’s parking lot, heard shots and saw two people fall down. The friend then saw the shooter reload his weapons and head to the temple’s entrance,
