A gunman killed eight people and injured several others at the FedEx facility in Indianapolis. Authorities have yet to determine a motive for the shooter, who they say killed himself at the scene.
FedEx said in a statement on Friday that it was “deeply shocked and saddened by the loss of our team members following the tragic shooting at our FedEx Ground facility in Indianapolis.”
The shooting in Indiana is the latest instance of mass violence in recent weeks that has called renewed attention to the debate over gun laws. Shootings in the Atlanta area last month left eight dead, most of whom were Asian women, while 10 were killed in a shooting at a grocery store in Boulder, Colo., in late March.
