Wade Michael Page is a suspect in the Sikh temple shootings in Oak Creek, Wis. Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards said at a news conference that Page, who lived in a neighboring community, served in the military from 1992 to 1998, received a “general discharge” and was “ineligible for reenlistment.” A Pentagon official said Page rose to the rank of sergeant before being demoted to specialist and leaving the Army. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights organization that monitors hate groups, Page was a “frustrated neo-Nazi.”
