    News At least 8 dead, multiple injured after gunman opens fire at Indianapolis FedEx facility

    By Brie Stimson | Fox News




    Indianapolis police said at least 8 people were shot and killed at a FedEx facility near the airport Thursday night and 'multiple' others have injuries.

    The alleged shooter also died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department spokesperson Genae Cook said during an early morning news conference.

    At least four people were hospitalized, including one person with critical injuries. Two others were treated at the scene and released. No law enforcement officers were injured.

    "We have multiple people with injuries consistent with gunshot wounds," police said during a preliminary news conference after 1 a.m. ET.

    Officers responded to a report of shots fired around 11 p.m. ET and found an active shooter at the scene.

    Police said they believe there is no active threat to the community anymore.

    U.S. Rep André Carson, D-Ind., who represents the district, tweeted his concern early Friday.

    "I am heartbroken by the mass shooting at the FedEx facility here in Indianapolis and praying for all affected by this tragedy," he wrote. "I am communicating with local authorities to get all details of the attack and my office stands ready to help everyone affected any way we can."

    Interstate 70 has reopened after being closed in both directions near the scene, Indiana State Police public information officer John Perrine reported on Twitter just before 1 a.m. ET.

    Parminder Singh told Fox 59 reporter Courtney Crown that his niece called to tell him she had been shot in the shoulder by the suspect while she was in her SUV at a nearby gas station but she’s expected to be OK.

    Ian Johnston said his wife works at the FedEx facility and texted him to tell him there was an active shooter at her work. "She’s since notified me that she’s OK," he said. "She said she’ll be stuck in there for a while."

    "You never think it might happen, but of course it can," he told FOX 59, adding that he’s "pleased as punch" to know his wife is OK.

    Jeremiah Miller told WISH-TV he was between shifts at FedEx when he heard several shots.

    "This made me stand up and actually look out the entrance door, and I saw a man with a submachine gun of some sort, an automatic rifle, and he was firing in the open," he said. "I immediately ducked down and got scared and my friend’s mother, she came in and told us to get inside the car."

    The scene was declared a "mass casualty, Level 1," according to WISH.

    The FBI field office has said it's ready to assist if needed, according to freelance reporter Ethan Biando.

    Police have advised anyone concerned about the safety of someone inside the facility to go to the Hilton Garden Inn Indianapolis Airport, WISH reported.

    FedEx in a statement said, "Safety is our top priority, and our thoughts are with all those who are affected. We are working to gather more information and are cooperating with investigating authorities," according to WTTV-TV.

    The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    Odd that these shootings are now popping up about once a week now that Biden is President.

    Was in a FB discussion earlier, the topic centered around a media report that claimed there has been "45 mass shootings in the USA in the past month". The OP was trying to keep the convo centered around the fact that the media purposely tries to make everyone think that all those "mass shootings" are one gunman mowing down innocent people and does nothing to clarify their definition of "mass shooting".

    The example he used:
    In particular I was surprised there was a mass shooting in Cleveland since I think I would have heard of it. I found that in late March there was a gun fight between multiple people in an after hours club. The man fired a single gunshot and multiple others inside the club pulled out guns and started firing, according to police.
    So, that is just a bunch of people with guns having a shoot out. That’s not a mass shooting.
    Boy that sure started a shitstorm of people trying to defend the "statistic".

    I agree they are ramping up the drama. True mass shootings are of true innocents like a terrorist attack, and are of course, horrible. But actually not that common (in a country of 330 million with heavy gun ownership).
