OAK CREEK, Wis.—A mass shooting at a Sikh temple south of Milwaukee left seven people dead Sunday, including the suspected gunman, in what police called an act of domestic terrorism. Three others were injured, including a police officer.

Police said the shooting began at about 10:30 a.m., as the congregation of the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin prepared for services. Chief John Edwards of the Oak Creek police said the suspect shot an officer multiple times before another officer shot and killed the suspect.
