WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says Americans are "heartbroken" over Sunday's shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin that left six worshippers and the gunman dead.

Obama told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday that regardless of "who we worship, we are all one people."

Police identified the gunman as Wade Michael Page, a 40-year-old Army veteran and former leader of a white supremacist heavy metal band, but it's unclear what triggered his rampage.
