At least 8 dead in shooting at Indianapolis FedEx facility
By Jordan Williams and Geoffrey Rowland - 04/16/21 06:00 AM ED



At least 8 people were killed and several others injured late Thursday in a mass shooting at an Indianapolis FedEx facility.

Indianapolis police said that the shooter took his own life and there is "no active threat to the community at this time,” according to the Associated Press.

In a press conference, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department spokeswoman Genae Cook early Friday said at least four people have been transported to a local hospital with injuries, one person was in critical condition. Three others had other injuries, and two others were treated at the facility.

Cook also said that authorities were also aware that that “multiple other people” had walked into local hospitals for injuries. The Department is continuing to reach out to identify other victims.

Cook said that officers responded to a report of officers fired at the FedEx facility at roughly 11 p.m. Thursday evening, and arrived to an active shooter incident.

Authorities are still trying to figure out the motive of the incident. Cook said the investigation will continue “throughout the day.”

This is why in most cases eye witness testimony is always sketchy at best and it also highlights a growing inability of citizens to accurately describe a firearm they see.

Sadly but not surprisingly politicians will jump on that word salad description of the weapon used and call for a ban on them.

Last I saw, the police don't even know if the shooter is/was an employee.

Have any pol-ghouls and/or media-ghouls used the still-cooling dead bodies for their ritual calls for gun confiscation?
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Many of these workplace shooters turn out to be disgruntled ex-workers getting revenge. We'll see.

Top of the "usual suspects" list for killings like this.

Chief of Indianapolis Metro PD refuses to give any details about the killer.

He first said he knew nothing about the identity of the killer, then a local reporter noted that a special agent told media they were searching the killer's house.

Why the secrecy?

So they know the shooter's identity and where he lived, but they don't know nuthin'.
Probably need to scrub his social media first.

Not yet.  I'm guessing they are waiting to see the race/religion of the shooter...or they already know and it doesn't fit the narrative.

ETA:  Cops are currently searching the shooters house.  So they know where he lives and who he is.

Since the shooter killed himself, it would quickly be recognized that he was the shooter. I'm just a life-long civilian, but I would think the second thing officers on the scene would do - after verifying he was not alive and armed - would be to search for the guy's identity. So there's a good chance the shooter's identity became known within minutes of police officers' arrival. Notifying next of kin, investigation in progress ... I get all that, but that should only delay release of identification a few hours, not half a day, IMO.

Every department has different notification protocols.

But you and I both know from experience had this been a white...protestant Trump supporter...we'd have known everything about him already.

Police have 'idea' of FedEx shooter's identity but not releasing name or possible motive

Indianapolis police said this morning they have not made a positive identification of the gunman who killed eight people before taking his own life late Thursday at a FexEd facility in Indianapolis.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Deputy Chief Craig McCartt said investigators have an idea of who the man is, but will not reveal a name until  positive identification is made by investigators and the coroner. FBI Agent in Charge Paul Keenan said investigators were searching a home this morning.

"We have an idea," McCartt said. "We have some other leads that led us to that location."

They got a search warrant based on "an idea of who the man is"? What a load. The shooter probably had ID. The shooter's car would have a license plate that could be used to check its registration. How stupid does this police chief think people are?!

It's a sad day for eight families, I would be willing to bet that Fed Ex has a no gun/gun free zone policy for their facilities to make sure their employees can't shoot each other defend themselves.

True.  As if weapons walk around by themselves.  Mine is very well behaved.  It just sits there.

This happened 14 hours ago and they still haven't identified the suspect.

I guess we can rule out a white male.

The amount of silence by the IMPD on the shooter tells most people all they need to know about who he is.

FedEx mass shooter was reportedly ‘known’ to authorities
NY Post, Apr 16, 2021

The gunman in the FedEx shooting spree was previously known to federal and local authorities — and had been flagged up to law enforcement by a concerned family member before the deadly attack, according to a report Friday.

The suspect, who committed suicide after killing eight at the Indiana facility Thursday night, has not been publicly identified by police. But CNN reporter Ana Cabrera said he’s no stranger to law enforcement.

“Authorities were warned about FedEx suspect’s potential for violence in the past, sources say,” Cabrera tweeted. “The suspect in the Indianapolis mass shooting was known to federal and local authorities prior to the attack.”

Citing three law enforcement sources, Cabrera added that a relative reached out to authorities to warn them of the gunman’s “potential for violence.” It is not clear when the warning was issued.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Deputy Chief Craig McCartt said earlier in the day that investigators “have an idea” who the shooter is but declined to elaborate.

Well, Schmuck Todd said his name. 

Meanwhile, the inevitable:
Quote
... President Joe Biden has been briefed on the shooting and top White House aides have been in touch with local leaders on the ground, said White House press secretary Jen Psaki.

"Gun violence is an epidemic in America. But we should not accept it. We must act," Biden said in a statement. He also ordered the flag at the White House to be lowered to half-staff for the fourth time in less than five weeks.

Psaki said the latest in a string of recent shootings shows why more action is needed on guns, pointing to Biden’s support of three bills that would tighten background checks that passed the House last month.  ...

Anyone else tired of this jackass - and many other government officials - inappropriately ordering that the flags be lowered?
