Wade Michael Page. Expect that name to be burned into our brains and ingrained on the bottom third of our television sets now that authorities have named of the 40-year-old as the suspect in the Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting that left six people dead and four wounded over the weekend. CBS News reports, "that Page was a former member of the U.S. military, but he was no longer serving actively. It was not immediately clear under what circumstances Page left the military." CBS adds that Page enlisted in April 1992 and was given a less-than-honorable discharge in 1998--he was last stationed in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. CNN and ABC News cite anonymous sources who say that Page have been a white supremacist. Details are still coming in about Page's specifics and according to Fox News, local authorities are holding a 10 a.m. press conference where more details about Page are expected to emerge. Photos of Page have not yet been released. A neighbor of Page's told Fox about a possible breakup with his girlfriend--but officials told other news agencies that what triggered his rampage still remains unclear.
