Another one to add to the list.

One a day until we get our way

Not to get all tinfoily, but:

"This made me stand up and actually look out the entrance door, and I saw a man with a submachine gun of some sort,

Is that kinda like the "concealable AR" used in Atlanta?

[MillCreek]

This is why we can't have nice things.

Remains to be seen if this is the shooting the dems are hoping for.

As a former FedEx investigator, back in the late 90's early 2000's we were authorized an encouraged to carry when we were on the job, but they stopped allowing their own to carry, I was working the NY/NJ Metro then moved down to Florida, weapons use to be shipped threw the system daily, along with ammo, they would sometime be stolen, I've locked up several stealing hand guns, long guns etc.  Most locations I was in charge of had a very high turn over, due to a meat grinder type environment, a lot of employee hostilities, bad management, gang activity within the larger hubs, I could go into great detail, but yup, I left this company after 5 years on the job, not a pleasant place to work, politics, turnover, etc.  R.I.P. victims, I wish I could have been their to save the day.

I saw this comment about the atmosphere at some of the Fedex depots.  Hard to say if the commentary fits this situation or not, but it sounds more believable than "evil guns did it".

I'm betting on the angry ex-employee, recently fired, motive.  For the bonus round, I'll add in "person of color."

Or a High Point carbine.  We will see.

Security footage ought to be interesting ...

[Angel Eyes]

I don't have the reference handy, but some writer noted that a lot of mass shootings occur in March, April and May.  Besides this year, the Columbine High School attack occurred in April, as did the Virginia Tech shooting.  The shooting at a STEM school in Highlands Ranch (Denver suburb) was in early May 2019.

Last news report I saw said police are still trying to ID the shooter.

Edit: But seconds later I see they're saying the police are searching the suspect's home

Ban automatic rifles!

An Indianapolis City-County councilwoman is calling on Gov. Eric Holcomb and state lawmakers "to address gun violence" in the wake of the FedEx facility mass shooting.

Ali Brown, a Democrat, wrote on her Facebook page Friday morning that "the conversation will be tough, but we must get a firm grip of the situation and the collective epidemic — and if that means passing background check legislation, banning automatic rifles, and advocating for other common-sense gun control measures, let’s get that done immediately.

Craig McCartt, the deputy chief of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, says based on interviews with witnesses, the shooter came to the FedEx facility and “got out of his car and pretty quickly started some random shooting outside the facility."

“There was no confrontation with anyone that was there, there was no disturbance, there was no argument,” McCartt said. “He just appeared to randomly start shooting and that began in the parking lot and then he did go into the facility for a brief period of time before he took his own life.”

Police have not identified the suspect, but the FBI says its personnel are currently assisting in a search of his home.

All we got so far is a male in his 20s.
Tin foil hat in me thinks if he was white they would have said white male

He's been identified.  19 year old

Sources told CNN that the gunman was known to police and that his family had previously warned them of potential violence prior to the FedEx rampage. It is not clear when that warning was given

Here comes the renewed push for red flag laws

[French G.]

So how many are known to police or fbi, released like the deceased in Minnesota etc.? Maybe one more law will fix it.

[cordex]

So far Fly320s is doing pretty well.  [dbag] has been identified as a "former FedEx employee".

Reported to police in March of 2020 for mental health issue, immediate detention made, and had a shotgun seized at the time.  Interviewed by the FBI in April 2020.

54 mass shootings in the past month according to this

[Ben]

I'm gonna go ahead and place my bet on a bipartisan, poorly written, and dangerous red flag law being passed (because can't you see that the current law isn't strong enough?).

I guess I am unaware of around 50 of those.

Probably because those 50 don't fit a certain narrative
