Label that produced Wis. gunman’s band is based in Md.

WASHINGTON – The music label that produced music for End Apathy, the band started by the gunman who killed six people at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin Sunday, has a local tie.

The label is located in Linthicum, Maryland. The company released a statement about the incident, saying they have worked hard over the years to promote a positive image and encourage people to make positive life choices.

“All images and products related to End Apathy have been removed from our site,” the company said in the statement. “We do not wish to profit from this tragedy financially or with publicity.”

The label said in their statement that the public should not take what Wade did as honorable or respectable.
