Shooting suspect was in white power bands

MILWAUKEE (AP) - A group that monitors hate crimes says the suspect in a shooting that killed seven at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee was a musician in white power bands whose lyrics express hate against minorities and ethnic groups.

The gunman, Wade Michael Page, was also killed in Sunday's shooting at the temple.

Mark Potok with the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Ala., said Monday that Page had been on the white power music scene for more than a decade in bands including Definite Hate and End Apathy.

Potok says the music is so violent and full of lyrics talking about carrying out genocide against the Jews and other minorities that the whole business exists almost exclusively over the Internet.
