Pete Simi says that when he heard it was Wade Michael Page who police said killed six people at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin on Sunday, he felt "sick to my stomach."

Simi, a professor of criminology at the University of Nebraska, Omaha, and co-author of American Swastika, realized that he had talked to Page at length during his research on the white power movement in the United States.

Simi spoke to All Things Considered's Melissa Block this afternoon (to be available at: approx. 7:00 p.m. ET) and told her that he has been thinking about whether he missed any red flags, anything that could have foretold a mass shooting.
