Reports: Oak Creek Sikh Temple Shooter Recently Lived In South Milwaukee

Update: Fox 6 also spoke with South Milwaukee neighbors, and WhitePages.com lists a Wade Page as living in the 700 block of Minnesota Avenue.

Wade Michael Page, the man suspected in Sunday’s shooting rampage at the Oak Creek Sikh Temple, lived for a time in South Milwaukee — before he moved to Cudahy.

Here is the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story. From it:

Before moving to the Cudahy address, Page lived for a time earlier this year in a South Milwaukee.

David Brown, 62, a neighbor who lived in the same South Milwaukee apartment building earlier this year, said Page was a recluse. He was “not a friendly guy,” he said. “You’d have more fun with a camel.”

“He was very quiet. You’d say hi and he’d kind of ‘uh.’ It was like he didn’t care if you were talking or not.”

Brown saw Page driving a plain white delivery truck several times. Page lived in apartment No. 5 with his girlfriend, Misty, who was going to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and who has an autistic son, and whose father helped out with child care and car maintenance.

Page liked to play music at odd hours of the night and work out in the basement with free weights.

Brown saw him there when he went to do laundry. “I never saw him carry a gun,” said Brown, a former navy officer who is retired from working in aviation electronics.

Page and his girlfriend moved out about four or five months ago.

“He didn’t seem mean. It was kind of like he was angry at the world. But I’m not a psychiatrist,” Brown said.
