Former girlfriend of the slain suspect in Wisconsin Gurdwara shooting is to face charges of felony possession of weapons, a media report said quoting sources in law enforcement agencies.

During search operation, the police recovered a gun from the residence of Misty M Cook, the ex-girlfriend of Wade Michael Page, 41, who allegedly went on a shooting rampage inside the gurdwara on Sunday in Wisconsin killing six people. He was shot dead by the security officers.

While law enforcement officials said that the weapon recovered from the residence of Cook, 31, was not involved in the shooting incident, Fox News quoting officials said on Tuesday that Cook has a prior felony conviction.

'But it was unclear if that was the reason for the new charge or if there was some other reason that the gun was deemed illegal. No details about the past conviction were available,' the news channel said.
