Are the Sikh considered Asian? Perhaps this event was built around the Asians are victims of hate crimes theme

I'm telling you, a hyphenated white is in our future. They're working on as fast as they can. You can push a focus group only so far.

I live not far out of Indy. I made this graphic to help those who are not familiar with the area. The blue highlighted area is the FedEx air terminal at Indianapolis Airport. This is their second-largest sort facility. The shooting didn't happen at the air terminal.

It happened at the FedEx ground terminal(highlighted in red), a little way south of the airport.

It may well be that the Sikh community itself is insular and not talking to outsiders, and that is part of why this event has so little footprint...

Just starting to watch the replay of this morning's presser. Doubt there is much real information to gather, given how it is starting.

The first sentence out of the Mayor's mouth included ". . the scourge of gun violence . . ". The first sentence mind you.

Then he said something rather odd to me, . . in the coming days and weeks, no piece of information will restore the lives that were taken.

Sure sounds to me that information is going to be slow-walked and rather sparse when it is available.

Why are the Chicago killings every weekend listed on the Mass Shooting List?

And why is the WH and .gov flags all lowered?

I give up.
Last night an Indian man was interviewed briefly (I didn't post it). He said his niece had been shot in the arm as she sat in her car in the parking lot.

Four or more shot is the definition so the gang shootings meet it and Chairman Xiden ordered the flags lowered because of the shooting

Authorities identified the shooter as a young man in his 20s. They said they could not yet say why he opened fire with a rifle late Thursday night at a FedEx processing center near the Indianapolis airport.
Police Chief Randal Taylor also noted that a “significant” number of employees at the facility are members of the Sikh community. Taylor spoke from a hotel where family members are awaiting word on their loved ones. He says he will stay with the families until they get more information.

Don't most the other Muslims despise the Skih's?

Brandon Scott Hole: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

GettyBrandon Scott Hole is the FedEx suspect
Brandon Scott Hole was identified as the 19-year-old mass shooter who stormed into an Indianapolis, Indiana, FedEx Ground facility on April 16, 2021.

At least 8 people are dead and several others were injured, including at least four with gunshot wounds.
“Law enforcement sources confirm to @PeteWilliamsNBC that the Indianapolis gunman was [19] year old Brandon Scott Hole,” wrote NBC’s Antonia Hylton on Twitter. The network was the first to break the name, which authorities have not formally released.

The mass shooting broke out near the Indianapolis airport. Terrifying reports emerged of people hiding by conveyor belts and being shot in an office and parking lot by a shooter armed with a rifle or machine gun. It later turned out the weapon was a .223 caliber rifle, according to dispatch audio.
Authorities described the situation as an “active shooter” incident at one point on the scanner.

CNN described a “mass casualty” incident at the facility on the southwest side of the city.
Police spokeswoman Genae Cook said the shooting broke out just after 11 p.m. at the FedEx facility at 8951 Mirabel Road. Cook said, “They responded on the report of shots being fired at that business. As officers arrived they came into contact with an active shooter incident.” Police said they believe the shooter took his own life. Multiple people have what appears to be gunshot injuries and others were taken to area hospitals.

“What we are left with this morning is grief,” said Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett. He thanked the first responders who responded to the scene.

Indianapolis Police Chief Randal Taylor said, “This morning for the third time since January, our community woke up to news of a senseless crime. It’s unacceptable. Our officers went toward danger. When they arrived at the scene, they found something that really no one should see. We’ve all been shaken by this heinous act.” Taylor described FedEx as a major employer in Indianapolis.

He said police may never really know “the ins and outs of why this occurred, but we will do our best.” A deputy chief said authorities found preliminarily that the suspect “came to the facility and when he came there, he got out of his car and pretty quickly began some random shooting outside the facility.”
Here’s what you need to know:

1. Authorities Were Warned About Brandon Hole Before, Reports Say



CNN’s Ana Cabrera reported that the suspect, Brandon Scott Hole, was on authorities’ radar before the mass shooting.
“Authorities were warned about FedEx suspect’s potential for violence in the past, sources say,” she wrote on Twitter. “The suspect in the Indianapolis mass shooting was known to federal and local authorities prior to the attack.”
Cabrera added, “A family member of the suspected shooter reached out to authorities warning about the suspect’s potential for violence, according to three law enforcement sources briefed on the matter.”

At one point in the initial police dispatch audio, which you can listen to later in this article, dispatchers said the suspect was described as a “white male wearing a hat” or hoodie and carrying a rifle type weapon.
“We have an active shooter currently at FedEx. They’re reporting at least five people shot,” said a dispatcher.
“This made me stand up and actually look out the entrance door, and I saw a man with a submachine gun of some sort, an automatic rifle, and he was firing in the open,” Jeremiah Miller told WISH. “I immediately ducked down and got scared and my friend’s mother, she came in and told us to get inside the car.”

The mass shooting occurred in the 8900 block of Mirabel Road. Officer Genae Cook, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department spokesperson, told reporters at the press conference early Friday morning, April 17, “After a preliminary search of the grounds inside and out, we have located eight people at the scene with injuries consistent to gunshot wounds. Those eight were pronounced deceased here at the scene. We have been made aware of multiple other people with injuries who have been transported to local hospitals or who have transported themselves to local hospitals.” One victim is in critical condition. The victims’ names have not been released.

FBI special agent in charge Paul Keenan said in a news conference that the FBI is assisting in the search of the suspect’s name. He said it would be premature to speculate on the motive.
A deputy chief said that officers found a “very chaotic and active crime scene. They found several victims injured and several victims deceased, as well as the suspect who was deceased as well from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.”

2. Responding Officers Said They Found Hole Dead at the Scene



Responding officers quickly believed they had found the suspect dead at the facility.
“We have the suspect here inside it looks like. Looks like he has a gunshot wound to the head. Two rifles here,” an officer said in the audio. “Unless there’s another person out, this is going to be our suspect here.” Authorities said at one point, “We have four more down inside the building.” They also found two people in the parking lot and one person in the office.

Their conditions are not clear.
Cook added, “IMPD detectives are working with Indiana State Police detectives gathering information and interviewing, not just those who are here at the scene, but also those who have gone to area hospitals seeking medical treatment. … It is very heartbreaking. … The officers responded, they came in, they went in and they did their job. And a lot of them are trying to face this because this is a sight that no one should ever have to see.”

3. A Witness Said the Shooter Pulled a Gun Out of His Trunk



A witness told John Curtis, “One guy showed up and pulled a gun out of his trunk and went inside. People were driving away, but then he started shooting at the cars driving away.” He said the shooting started in the parking lot, and then continued in the building.
FedEx said in a statement after the mass shooting, “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. We are working to gather more information and are cooperating with investigating authorities.” According to job listings on the FedEx website, the facility includes a warehouse. There is also a self-service drop box at the location, according to the FedEx website.

When asked if the shooter was an employee at the FedEx facility, Cook said that was not yet known. According to a job listing for a package handler at the facility, the shooting happened just before the shift change between the twilight sort, which starts at 5:30 p.m., and the midnight sort, which begins at 11:30 p.m.

4. The Dispatch Audio Captured Terrifying Scenes as Officers Kept Finding More Victims

Officers found more and more victims as they searched the premises, both inside and outside of the FedEx facility. You can listen to the earliest dispatch audio above.

The dispatcher said at one point that someone “had been shot.” Then they said two to three were shot. Another dispatcher said a female was “screaming for help.” An officer said “another one is down by the building.” They said the hospitals should prepare for “multiple victims.” One person was described as “conscious, barely.”
“Do we have any living victims needing an ambulance?” an officer asked at one point.
“Person shot. He is outside in the parking lot,” another dispatcher said of another victim. “EMS is en route.”

5. Videos Showed the Chaos at the Scene


Videos on social media showed a large response to the scene.
The Indiana State Police said I-70 is closed in both directions between I-465 and Ronald Regan Pkwy due to police activity in the area.

Rafael Sánchez, WRTV journalist, wrote on Twitter, “Initial details on mass casualty shooting at FedEx facility in Indy.” He said that the first 911 call came in at 11:07 p.m. on April 15, 2021, with people reporting someone shooting outside the building. There were then reports of shots in the building. He said there were multiple injuries, and people were hiding by conveyer belts inside.
Authorities were evacuating the building and searching people.

That's why I wonder if that is a prank.

Who the heck's family name is "Hole".

There's a bunch of Holes out there.

Hole (surname) - Wikipedia

The first bearers of the distinguished surname Hole came to England in the great wave of migration that followed the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name is occupational in origin, stemming from the primary activity of the bearer. It is derived from the Old French term "halle," which referred to a large manor house, which indicates that the original bearer of the name worked at the manor of the local Lord in some role such as a servant or chamberlain.

Muslims despise everyone. Sikhs aren't muslim.

Yeah, they've been going at it hammer-and-tongs over in India for quite awhile.

Sikhs are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Right after 9/11, some ignoramus shot and killed the Sikh owner of a convenience store here, believing him to be Muslim. Store Owner used to pay the homeless with sandwiches in exchange for sweeping the parking lot--dispensing charity whilst preserving dignity.
