On April 15, a 19-year-old opened fire at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis, killing eight people. The shooting ended when the man killed himself.
Authorities haven’t identified a motive behind the shooting, but when they released the names of the victims, four were recognized as part of the city’s Sikh community. Police also said that about 90 percent of the employees who worked at the FedEx warehouse are also a part of the local Sikh community.
The shooting echoed the familiar pangs of tragedies that Sikhs have experienced in the U.S., including a 2012 shooting, when a gunman opened fire inside the Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, killing six.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) A jury on Tuesday found an Indianapolis man not guilty of murder in the fatal shooting of a 25-year-old woman in August.
The jury cleared Melvin E. Hall II in the death of Naytasia Williams, according to online court records.
Hall was working as a private security guard at an apartment complex when the shooting happened around 12:15 a.m. Aug. 28 in the 4100 block of Brentwood Drive. That’s southeast of the intersection of East 42nd Street and North Post Road on the city’s northeast side.
Immediately after the shooting, friends and bystanders upset over the shooting set a security guard’s vehicle on fire outside the Towne & Terrace Corp. apartment complex. Court documents say bystanders cursed and threw bottles at security guards, police officers and firefighters who responded. Initially, some had believed the security guard was an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officer; he wasn’t.
