Indianapolis police have been hunting for a motive at the home of the FedEx facility shooter, who has been identified as 19-year-old Brandon Scott Hole of Indiana.
According to the Associated Press, investigators searched a home associated with Hole in Indianapolis and seized evidence, including desktop computers and other electronic media, as distraught family members of the eight victims spent hours anxiously awaiting word on their loved ones.
Police have not yet determined the shooter’s motive for opening fire with a rifle late Thursday night at a FedEx processing center near the Indianapolis airport, killing eight people.
Law enforcement officials describe a chaotic scene as the gunman started randomly shooting at people in the parking lot and then stormed into the building and continued firing.
Indianapolis Deputy Police Chief Craig McCartt said the shooter apparently died by suicide shortly before police went into the building.
“There was no confrontation with anyone that was there,” he said. “There was no disturbance, there was no argument. He just appeared to randomly start shooting,” McCartt said.
Indianapolis police released the names of the eight victims as Matthew R. Alexander, 32; Samaria Blackwell, 19; Amarjeet Johal, 66; Jaswinder Kaur, 64; Jaswinder Singh, 68; Amarjit Sekhon, 48; Karli Smith, 19; and John Weisert, 74. Four of the shooting victims were members of the Sikh community.
CNN noted that this most shooting is now at least the 45th mass shooting in the United States since the Atlanta-area spa shootings on March 16 that killed 8 people.
