The devastated mother of the neo-Nazi and former soldier who shot dead six people and injured three others at a Sikh Temple yesterday has spoken of her heart break that her 'precious little boy' turned into a mass murderer.

Speaking to the MailOnline, she said: 'He was such a precious little boy, that's all I can say, he was a very fun-loving, typical little boy. He was just a very soft spoken, gentle young man.'
Asked if the army had changed her son, she said: 'I have no idea I had not been in contact with him that much. Actually in the last 12 years I have not been in contact with him at all since his dad and I divorced.
'I just found out this morning when another newspaper called me. Of course I'm devastated.
'My heart goes out to all the people who lost their loved ones, that's all I can say, I am so sorry.'
Wade Michael Page was kicked out of the army in 1998 after serving six years, first as a missile system repairman at Fort Bliss in Texas and then at Fort Bragg where he was in Psychological Operations.
He was given a less-than-honorable discharge from the army in October 1998 following a 'pattern of misconduct' including being drunk on duty and going AWOL sources said.
He had been demoted from sergeant to specialist during his service and was deemed ineligible for re-enlistment.
While in the Army, Wade - originally from Colorado - served as a sergeant, and later as a specialist based in Ft Bliss in Texas and at Ft Bragg in North Carolina.
The details of his discharge were not immediately clear.
According to the Examiner, Page was an E4 psychological operations specialist. He was awarded the Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, Army Good Conduct award, the National Defense Service Medal, Humanitarian Service Medal and Parachutist Badge.
The Anti-Defamation League had been tracking Wade since 2000 when he first appeared on the white supremacist music scene.

In 2010 he gave an interview to white supremacist website Label 56, telling them that he started the band End Apathy because of his wish to 'figure out how to end people's apathetic ways and start moving forward'.
He admitted the band was his idea and that topics included 'sociological issues, religion, and how the value of human life has been degraded by being submissive to tyranny and hypocrisy that we are subjugated to'.

Police are calling the shooting at Wisconsin Sikh Temple an act of domestic terrorism after he shot dead six people and seriously wounded three more yesterday morning.
Page was finally gunned down by police officer Lt Brian Murphy, 51, who was shot 'eight or nine times' by the gunman and is now recovering in hospital.
The six victims - aged between 39 and 84 - have been identified as Bhai Seeta Singh, 41, Bhai Parkash Singh, 39, Bhai Ranjit Singh, 49, Satwant Singh Kaleka, 62, Subegh Singh, 84, Parmjit Kaur Toor, 41.
The injured in hospital are Bhai Punjab Singh - who is in extremely critical condition - and Santokh Singh.
Page was known to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which published a picture of him since taken standing in front of Nazi iconography with a visible tattoo of a Celtic cross with the number 14.
The tattoo is said to refer to the Anti-Defamation League, another white-supremacist symbol that refers to a fourteen-word slogan: 'We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.'
He is also believed to have had 'lettering on his hands, a Celtic knot on his back and fire on his leg' as well as the 9/11 tattoo.
They confirmed her was the lead singer of End Apathy but had also been involved with bands called Youngland and Celtic Warrior, Radikahl, Max Resist, Intimidation One, Aggressive Force, Blue Eyed Devils.

The Center revealed they had been tracking Page since 2000 when he tried to purchase goods from the National Alliance.
Heidi Beirich, director of the center's intelligence project, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that there was 'no question' Page was an ardent follower and believer in the white supremacist movement.
She said her center had evidence that he attended 'hate events' around the country and was involved in the scene.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a group that has studied hate crimes for decades, reported today they had been tracking Page since 2000 .
Also on Monday, a volunteer human-rights group called Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) found links between Page, his band and a white supremacist website called Stormfront, reported the Journal Sentinel.
Page moved to a duplex in the 3700 block of E. Holmes in Cudahy two weeks ago, which was cordoned off for a time on Sunday night as officials investigated inside, and residents were evacuated from their homes.
It is about six miles from the temple where the shooting took place.
Before that he lived in the south of Milwaukee with his girlfriend Misty who was going to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and has an autistic son.

It has been reported that he recently broke up with her and that has been suggested as a possible motive.
David Brown, 62, a neighbor who lived in the same apartment building told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Page was a recluse.
'He was not a friendly guy. He was very quiet. You'd say hi and he'd kind of grunt. It was like he didn't care if you were talking or not.'
He said they moved out about four or five months ago.
A neighbor at his Cudahy duplex told CBS: 'Nobody has really seen him. We heard here and there that they’ve been doing a lot of arguing, between him and another female, but I haven’t seen him.'
The officers came out of the duplex around midnight, carrying large items, according to Cudahy Now.
Police roped off four blocks in a neighborhood with a mix of duplexes and single-family homes as FBI agents descended on Page's home with an armored truck, a trailer and other vehicles.
One woman said that the man who lived at that home 'kind of kept to himself'.
'I just remember seeing (a tattoo that said) 9-11. I just remember thinking it was weird, thinking "Why would you have that tattooed on you?"' April Reyna told the station.
Page is believed to have worked as a truck driver with Granger, Iowa-based Barr-Nunn Transportation, from about April 2006 to August 2010 while living in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
An employee at the company said he left 'involuntarily' but declined to elaborate.
