SOUNDBITE (English) Oak Creek, Wisconsin Police Chief John Edwards (English):

"He was in the military from 1992 to 1998. He had a general discharge, and that he was and he was ineligible for re-enlistment. And I want to make it perfectly clear right he was the only shooter that was involved at the temple."

At his last station in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Page was a psychological operations specialist and he repaired missile systems.

Police shot Page dead after he killed one woman and five men inside the the temple.
