The mother of alleged neo-Nazi Wade Michael Page, who shot six persons dead and critically injured three others at a Sikh Temple in the US, has apologised for her son’s devastating actions.

“My heart goes out to all the people who lost their loved ones, that's all I can say, I am so sorry,” Laura Lynn said, adding that she had lost contact with Page ever since she divorced her husband.

Lynn said she was shocked and heartbroken when she read about her son's death in another newspaper earlier that day. “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,” the Daily Mail quoted Lynn as saying.
