According to a tweet from Fred Phelps, the leader of the so-called church, the shooting was punishment for the bad treatment his group had gotten in Wisconsin.

Beautiful work of an angry God who told Wisconsin to keep their filthy hands off his people (WBC)! #godsenttheshooter! http://t.co/WD24LepW

The Phelps clan recently threatened to picket the memorial vigil for victims of the Aurora shootings and have been restricted by Congress from picketing the funerals of American soldiers.

The shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin, which is being treated as a case of domestic terrorism, has claimed seven lives, including the shooter and has left many more critically injured.
