Before the Indiana Senate heard bills Monday, a few senators spoke about gun violence in light of the FedEx shooting last Thursday.Â
Sen. J.D. Ford, D-Indianapolis, among other Democratic lawmakers, called for action regarding gun laws. Ford said today that Thursday’s shooting took place just miles from his home on the west side of Indianapolis.
“This is the fifth mass shooting incident our state has faced in 2021 alone. We have reached a tipping point,” Ford said. “Hoosiers demand and deserve action from the legislature to address the structural issues that create the environment for these tragedies to take place.”
