Indiana’s ‘red flag’ law should have prevented the FedEx shooting. Here’s what else you should know about these laws After 19-year-old Brandon Hole killed eight people at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis last week, questions arose about the state’s “red flag” law, which should have prevented Hole from having a gun in the first place. “Red flag” laws, found in more than a dozen states across the US, are also known as Extreme Risk Protection Order laws and they allow courts to temporarily seize firearms from anyone believed to be a danger to themselves or others. In Hole’s case, his mother told law enforcement in March 2020 that her son told her he would attempt “suicide by cop.” At the time, officials took a shotgun found at his home into custody, Marion County prosecutor Ryan Mears said Monday. And yet, later that year, Hole was able to legally purchase assault rifles.
