CNN-IBN | 09-Aug 07:52 AM
Milwaukee/Wisconsin: Wade Page, the gunman who killed six people at a US gurudwara at Oak Creek in Wisconsin on weekend, shot himself dead, the FBI revealed on Thursday. The FBI added that Page died of a self-inflicted wound to the head and not from a shot by the police as had been claimed earlier.
The FBI also defended its decision to not monitor Page earlier even though he was on the radar of several private organisations and had alleged links to the white supremacist movement.
US President Barack Obama, meanwhile, made a condolence call to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday and assured him of a thorough probe into the incident.
Meanwhile, another candlelight vigil has been planned, this time in New York.
