The  mass shooting occurred at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisc just outside Milwaukee and information is limited as law enforcement has ordered a media blackout to keep ‘tactical operations on the ground secure’.

Hospitals in the area were told to be ready for up to 20 shooting victims, according to police radio reports as conflicting reports come in on the number of shooters.

“The officer exchanged fire with the shooter. That shooter was put down.”

“We believe we have the situation contained here” at the temple.

But he also said, “we do not know if there are other shooters at the scene.”

7 Dead in ‘Domestic Terrorism’ Shooting at Wisconsin Sikh Temple

Seven people were shot and killed today at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis., in what officials are treating as a domestic terrorism incident.

Three other people — two civilians and a police officer — were injured and were being treated at a local hospital.

Individuals attending Sunday services at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin, just south of Milwaukee, fled in all directions this morning when a gunman entered and began firing. Many hid in bathrooms or other rooms within the temple while the shooter attacked, according to police.

The president of the temple, Satwant Singh Kaleka, was preparing to deliver remarks when he became one of the shooting victims. His son, Amardeep Kaleka, spoke by phone with ABC News’ David Muir shortly after getting a call from the priest using his father’s phone.

“I picked it up immediately thinking it was my dad, but it was the priest and he was standing right next to him,” Kaleka said. “He told me right away that right now my father can’t speak. There’s too much blood coming out of his back area and we have to get ambulances in there right away.”

Soon, he heard briefly from his mother, also in hiding and asking for information about his father.

Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards said 911 calls began pouring into the police department around 10:25 a.m.

The first police officer to respond to the scene, a 20-year veteran on the police force, exchanged gunfire with the suspect and sustained multiple gunshot wounds. He is undergoing surgery at Froedtert Hospital, the main trauma center in the Milwaukee region, along with two other injured victims.

The gunman was shot and killed by the police officer outside the temple. Four other people were found dead inside the temple, while two other people were found dead outside the building.

“The officer stopped a tragic event that could’ve been a lot worse,” Edwards said.

Edwards said authorities were treating the event as a domestic terrorism incident and the FBI would be conducting a full investigation.

The police have not given any details on the identity or motive of the shooter or released the identities of the deceased.

Edwards said that by 5:30 p.m. EST today the temple had finally been cleared of all remaining people and checked for additional threats. Police tactical teams spent more than four hours securing the temple after the initial reports of the shooting this morning included reports of additional gunmen.

Police asked media outlets to stop broadcasting aerial footage from helicopters on television because of tactical operations at the scene.

Police said that they now believe the reports all described the same gunman. The FBI will be investigating the “scope” of the attack, Edwards said.

Members of the Sikh community in Milwaukee expressed outrage at the shooting.

“They went to church, not knowing that they might die today,” said Simran Kaleka, whose family was in the temple, according to ABC News Radio. “I don’t know how sick you have to be to do that, and I don’t know if it was directed toward the Sikh culture and them having turbans and having beards, but ignorance is not going to get us anywhere.”

The wounded president of the temple, Satwant Singh Kaleka, had recently hosted state Rep. Josh Zepnick and the county district attorney to discuss a recent rise in violence against area Sikhs at their stores and businesses, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
