The FBI on Tuesday announced that it had concluded its investigation into the Aug. 5 mass shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek, Wis. On Friday, the FBI briefed victims and family members of those killed in the incident. From the FBI’s release:

The FBI investigation indicates Wade Michael Page acted alone and was not assisted in committing this violent crime killing six and wounding four other victims. No evidence was uncovered to conclude this attack was directed or facilitated by any white supremacist group. During the shooting at the temple, Page exchanged gun fire with two Oak Creek police officers seriously wounding one, before being shot by another officer, then turning his weapon on himself. There is also no evidence to suggest the attack was part of any ongoing threat to the Sikh community.
