Late on April 15, Brandon Hole stepped out of his car at an Indianapolis FedEx facility. Armed with a rifle, he shot and killed four people outside before moving inside to kill four more. Then Hole, 19, turned the gun on himself.

Indianaâs red flag law is under scrutiny after a mass killing last week at an Indianapolis FedEx facility.

The court can also designate the person as having a violent propensity or emotionally unstable conduct with the intent of preventing future purchase of guns.
Indiana was second only to Connecticut to enact such legal safeguards.
