Brandon Hole, the 19-year-old who the police say fatally shot eight people at a FedEx facility on Thursday night, legally purchased two semiautomatic rifles he used in the attack more than six months earlier, according to the chief of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
Indianapolis police say a resisting shoplifter pointed a gun at a security guard inside a Beech Grove Walmart on Saturday, causing another shopper to fire shots at him in a chaotic scene.
The suspect was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. A loss prevention officer was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Officer Samone Burris said officers heard reports of a shoplifter resisting security at the Walmart off South Emerson Avenue around 4 p.m.
En route to the Walmart, officers learned that shots were fired inside. Burris said that another shopper fired after the suspected shoplifter pulled his own gun, but did not hit him.
In March 2020, police took a brand new shotgun from then 18-year-old Brandon Scott Hole when his mother reported his desire to die at the hands of law enforcement.
And 13 months removed from the call his mother made to police at the precipice of the pandemic, Hole used his two assault weapons to kill eight people and himself at a FedEx facility on Indianapolis’ southwest side.
As the city grieves, questions surround the 19-year-old alleged gunman s ability to legally buy multiple weapons mere weeks after both local and federal authorities were made aware of his mental instability and his plans to commit suicide by cop.
