Police: 8 dead in shooting at FedEx facility in Indianapolis
Indianapolis: Eight people were shot and killed in a late-night shooting at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis, and the shooter has killed himself, police said.
Multiple other people were injured Thursday night when gunfire erupted at the facility near the Indianapolis International Airport, police spokesperson Genae Cook said.
At least four were hospitalized, including one person with critical injures. Another two people were treated and released at the scene, Cook said.
The shooter wasn't immediately identified, and Cook said investigators were still in the process of conducting interviews and gathering information.
Police were called to reports of gunfire just after 11 p.m. and officers observed an active shooting scene, Cook said. The gunman later killed himself.
FedEx released a statement saying it is cooperating with authorities and working to get more information.
We are aware of the tragic shooting at our FedEx Ground facility near the Indianapolis airport. Safety is our top priority, and our thoughts are with all those who are affected, the statement said.
Family members gathered at a local hotel to await word on loved ones. Some said employees aren't allowed to have their phones with them while working shifts at the facility, making it difficult to contact them, WTHR-TV reported.
Live video from news outlets at the scene showed crime scene tape in the parking lot outside the facility. A witness who said he works at the facility told WISH-TV that he saw a man with a gun after hearing several gunshots.
I saw a man with a submachine gun of some sort, an automatic rifle, and he was firing in the open, Jeremiah Miller said.
Another man told WTTV that his niece was sitting in her car in the driver's seat when the gunfire erupted, and she was wounded. She got shot on her left arm, said Parminder Singh. She's fine, she's in the hospital now.
He said his niece did not know the shooter. (AP)
