Temple gunman was a neo-Nazi

THE gunman who murdered six people inside a US Sikh temple was a neo-Nazi white supremacist extremist.

Former soldier Wade Page walked into the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin and opened fire as several dozen people prepared for Sunday morning services.

Six were killed, and three were critically wounded.

Page, 40, was a "frustrated neo-Nazi" who led a racist white supremacist band, said the watchdog Southern Poverty Law Centre (SPLC).
