Seven dead in U.S. temple shooting
A gunman has opened fire and killed six people at a Sikh temple in the U.S. state of Wisconsin before he was killed in an exchange of gunfire with police.
The shooting happened as several dozen people gathered for Sunday services at the Sikh temple in the town of Oak Creek.
Authorities said the gunman "ambushed" a policeman at the scene, shooting him multiple times, before a second officer returned fire, killing the gunman.
The shot officer was among three men critically injured in the attack. No information about the suspect was released.
President Barack Obama said he was "deeply saddened" by the shooting, which comes just over two weeks after a gun massacre left 12 dead at a Colorado cinema.
