Indianapolis shooter who killed 8 has been ID'd

Indianapolis, IN -- a mass shooting at a FedEx facility that took place late Thursday night leaves eight people dead and several others wounded. Some have been taken to the hospital and others took themselves there under their own power.

The shooter, a 19-year-old man opened fire at the facility which is located near the city's airport--he is also dead from a self-inflicted gun shot wound, according to Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department spokesperson Genae Cook. His name is being withheld to avoid others who seek notoriety in their small lives and may become copycats in such crimes.

Cops say five people have been hospitalized following the gunfire, including one person with critical injuries. The remaining four are in stable condition.

FedEx employees are among the dead, the company has confirmed.

Four victims were killed outside the facility and four were killed inside, according to Craig McCartt, deputy chief of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. He stated the gunman used "some sort of a rifle."

McCartt spoke at a Friday press conference stating the shooter came to the FedEx facility then "got out of his car and pretty quickly started some random shooting outside the facility."

"There was no confrontation with anyone that was there, there was no disturbance, there was no argument," McCartt explained. "He just appeared to randomly start shooting and that began in the parking lot and then he did go into the facility for a brief period of time before he took his own life."

President Biden has called the shooting "the latest in a string of tragedies" and has ordered flags to be "lowered at half-staff at the White House, public buildings and grounds, and military posts and embassies."

This will now become a political issue for the left who believe that if the shooter, or any shooter, wasn't legally permitted to own a firearm, they would obey the law and these shootings would never happen.
