The AP reports: 

At least six people were killed Sunday when a gunman opened fire at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee, and the suspected shooter later died in an exchange of gunfire with police, authorities said.
Police were called to the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in the suburb of Oak Creek, where witnesses said several dozen people were gathering for a service. Authorities found four people dead inside the temple and two outside, Greenfield Police Chief Bradley Wentlandt said.

President Barack Obama was “notified of the Wisconsin shooting shortly before 1 p.m. by his Homeland Security Advisor, John Brennan,” a White House official told the pool reporter. “The President continues to receive updates on the incident.”
