Evidence shows Page appeared to have died from self-inflicted gunshot wound
FBI has not found anyone else responsible for Sikh temple shooting; no motive defined

The FBI said Wednesday morning that it has not identified anyone else responsible for the shooting at the Sikh temple on Sunday.

It has also not defined Wade Michael Page's motive, according to the FBI agent in charge, Teresa Carlson.

Carlson said the FBI did not have an open investigation on Page prior to the shooting.

She said they have conducted more than 100 interviews nationwide, including family, associated and neighbors of Page and 180 grand jury subpoenas have been issued.

Carlson said that evidence shows that after the officer shot Page in the stomach, that it appears Page died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
