The 19-year-old who shot and killed eight people at FedEx used two AR-15 style rifles in an attack that lasted less than four minutes, Indianapolis police announced Monday evening.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said Brandon Scott Hole used an HM Defense HM15F and Ruger AR-556 in Thursday s shooting that ended before officers arrived. Police said Monday there is no indication the guns had modifications.
A trace revealed that Hole, a former FedEx employee, legally bought the HM Defense HM15F in July, and the Ruger AR-556 in September.
He began the violent rampage in the parking lot, shooting and killing four people there and another four people were found dead inside the FedEx center. Hole then killed himself.
