Default 8 dead in shooting at FedEx facility in Indianapolis...

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A gunman killed eight people and wounded several others before apparently killing himself in a late-night shooting at a FedEx facility near the Indianapolis airport, police said, in the latest in a spate of mass shootings after a relative lull during the pandemic.

Five people were hospitalized after the Thursday night shooting, according to police. One of them had critical injuries, police spokesperson Genae Cook said. Another two people were treated and released at the scene. FedEx said people who worked for the company were among the dead.

A witness said that he was working inside the building when he heard several gunshots in rapid succession.

“I see a man come out with a rifle in his hand and he starts firing and he starts yellin’ stuff that I could not understand,” Levi Miller told WTHR-TV. “What I ended up doing was ducking down to make sure he did not see me because I thought he would see me and he would shoot me.”

Police have not identified the shooter or said whether he was an employee at the facility. They said “preliminary information from evidence at the scene" indicated that he died by suicide.

“We’re still trying to ascertain the exact reason and cause for this incident,” Cook said.

[At least eight dead and multiple others injured
after a gunman with an assault rifle goes
on a rampage at a FedEx facility
near Indianapolis Airport before killing himself
Officers say they came in contact with an
active shooter after they were called shortly
after 11pm on Thursday
In addition to the eight confirmed deaths,
officers said four had been hospitalized,
one in a critical condition
The male gunman shot himself dead,
becoming the ninth confirmed person
to die in the shooting incident
Two eyewitnesses report seeing a man getting
a gun from the trunk of his car;
one saw a body on the floor
Another said he saw a 'man with a
sub-machine gun or automatic firing
into the open' before people fled
Another said he heard 10 shots being
fired before alerting law enforcement of
the on-going attack
Initial reports suggest the shooting
took place inside and outside the facility
with one victim shot in her car
FedEx called the shooting 'tragic' in
a statement, adding: 'Our thoughts are
with all those who are affected' ]
