The suspect was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, Craig McCartt, deputy chief of Criminal Investigations at Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, said at a Friday news conference.
When officers arrived at the FedEx facility near the Indianapolis airport just after 11 p.m., they found a chaotic and active crime scene, McCartt said.

Authorities said there were nearly a half dozen shootings throughout the city in a span of less than five hours and that a total of seven people were hospitalized in addition to the six found dead in the home.Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Chief Randal Taylor said in a statement, "What we saw this morning was a different kind of evil. I'm angry that the perpetrators felt they had the right to commit this senseless act in our community. It has to stop. Our community doesn't deserve this.
