(AP) – Wisconsin Sikh temple shooter Wade Michael Page died of a self-inflicted gunshot to the head after he was shot and wounded by police, the FBI announced at a news conference today. An FBI special agent added that investigators have interviewed more than 100 people, combed through Page's email, and recovered evidence from the scene—139 items were taken from the temple's parking lot alone. But they have not yet "clearly defined a motive" for the Sunday shooting that left six worshipers dead.

Detectives have warned they might never learn for certain what drove him to attack total strangers in a holy place. The special agent noted that investigators have not found any kind of note left by Page. "We have not identified anyone else responsible for the shooting," she added.

If we could only come up with a way to get all the rest of the Neo-nazis to inflict gunshots to themselves we would have something.

He had a lot to say. He had a lot of nothing to say. We'll miss him. We're going to miss him. It's, so long. We wish you well. You told us how you weren't afraid to die. Well then, so long. Don't cry. Or feel too down. Not all martyrs see divinity. But at least you tried. Standing above the crowd, He had a voice that was strong and loud. We'll miss him. Ranting and pointing his finger At everything but his heart. We'll miss him. No way to recall What it was that you had said to me, Like I care at all. But it was so loud. You sure could yell. You took a stand on every little thing And so loud. Standing above the crowd, He had a voice that was strong and loud and I Swallowed his facade cuz I'm so Eager to identify with Someone above the ground, Someone who seemed to feel the same, Someone prepared to lead the way, and Someone who would die for me. Will you? Will you now? Would you die for me? Don't you fuckin lie. Don't you step out of line. Don't you fuckin lie. You've claimed all this time that you would die for me. Why then are you so surprised when you hear your own eulogy? You had a lot to say. You had a lot of nothing to say. Jump down. Get off your fuckin cross. We need the fuckin space to nail the next fool martyr. To ascend you must die. You must be crucified For our sins and our lies. Goodbye...

So much for "hero" cops who can't shoot straight.
