Apr 17, 20219:38Now PlayingIn Indianapolis, a recently fired FedEx employee killed eight people and wounded four others before turning the gun on himself at a FedEx facility last night.
The suspect has been identified as 19-year-old Brandon Scott Hole.
Authorities say the suspect arrived at the facility, got out of his car quickly, and just started shooting.
Four people were found shot inside the facility and four outside.
FedEx's Chairman and CEO Frederick Smith released this statement:
It is with a heavy heart that I write to you regarding the tragedy that occurred at our FedEx Ground facility in Indianapolis last night. While it will take some time to fully understand what happened, we know we lost eight team members in this senseless act of violence.
First and foremost, I want to express my deepest sympathies to the families, friends, and co-workers of those team members. Our priority right now is in responding to the situation on the ground and helping our team members and law enforcement. We have a team onsite in Indianapolis to provide support, and we are making counselors available.
This is a devastating day, and words are hard to describe the emotions we all feel. Please keep the Indianapolis team and surrounding community in your thoughts and prayers as we continue to support and care for each other in the difficult days ahead.
