MILWAUKEE – Misty Cook, the
ex-girlfriend of the man suspected of killing six worshippers at a Sikh
temple before a police officer shot and killed him, was arrested on a
weapons charge, law enforcement officials told FoxNews.com.
The gun was found during a search of the South Milwaukee home where
Cook lives, sources said. The weapon, which law enforcement sources did
not identify, was not involved in Sunday’s attack. A law enforcement
source said Cook has a 2002 felony conviction for eluding police, making
it illegal for her to possess a gun. She was arrested Sunday night on
suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm and later
released.
"The longer she stayed here with him, the more quiet and more withdrawn she got. In the end she didn't even make eye contact with me."- David Brown, formewr neighbor
Cook, a 31-year-old nursing student, lived with Page at two separate
apartments in South Milwaukee and Cudahy, Wis., according to neighbors.
She has not been charged in connection with the temple shooting. Sources
said Cook will be arrested and processed by the South Milwaukee Police
Department.
Jenna Benn, the Anti-Defamation League’s assistant regional director
in Chicago told Stars and Stripes that Cook is affiliated with the
white-power group Volksfront and is a supporter of the Hammerskin
Nation, a Dallas-based white supremacy group. She said Page's
ex-girlfriend is a prolific poster on hate forums.
