A skinhead with a 9/11 tattoo is believed to be behind the killing of six people at a Sikh temple before being shot dead by police in the latest shooting massacre in the US.

According to New York Post, the police is treating the shooting as an act of domestic terrorism.

Three people, including a cop, were wounded when bullets started flying at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek.

"We're treating this as a domestic-terror-type incident," said Police Chief John Edwards.

Officials said a lone gunman appeared to be behind the rampage, but cops did not rule out the possibility of an accomplice. They did not identify the killer or say what his motive might have been.

Ven Boba Ri, one of the temple members, said that the killer was "not an insider" and called the attack "a hate crime."

Kanwarpdeep Singh Kaleka, a member of the temple, said the madman had a 9/11 tattoo on one of his arms.

He also said that the shooter seemed to be targeting men wearing turbans, including his uncle, who was wounded. (ANI)
