If they have been to his home but don’t know who is, then a serious government coverup is underway.

I'm not far from the mess called Indy.
Watched parts of the "officials" statements and was assured by the Mayor that a strongly worded letter was sent out months ago, with 150 Mayors sigs saying kinda this stuff needs Peoples Rights removed.
The County Coroner cant even get onsite!
No identification of anyone!
Say nothing worthwhile or meaningful.
My condolences to all the families and friends harmed by this event.
I'm calling Bullshit.

Oh no. This is TOTALLY freaked-out. You have never seen this kind of obfuscation in any other mass shooting in this country to date.

Feels totally normal to me. The authorities know who did, he doesn't fit the agenda, and they're cobbling their story together with some ad-hoc history to back it up. They'll present it today.
We've already seen a white-hispanic. Wonder what kind of hyphenated white we'll see today.

Fedex terminal at an airport.
I can think of quite a few theories.
As to this dude was trying to move something in or out of the country that's not legal.
Feds may very well be involved in covering up or hiding something that's why the local popo is so clueless.

Fedex may have muffled their employees. Remember this did not happen out in public.All but ONE media dude to dispense info? Come on. Even witnesses, who SAW what happened, their real info is not being let out. TPTB have muffled everybody, media or not. By this time in any other event, we knew what was up.
Speak the press and your fired.

Known to federal authorities yet no red flag action. Makes you go hmmmmmm.
By the way the local snooze media has been going hog wild for hours with this story, calling it the third mass shooting in Indiana this year. Hmmm I wonder what the other two were. Yet no mention of gangbang violence every weekend on the east side.
The fact that the perps name and face have not been released is very suspicious. Its not fitting the angry white male supremacist narrative.

The other two were young blacks killing their families. One was over a stimulus check and the other was because his dad made him come home from his girlfriend's house.

Police ID gunman in FedEx shooting as young male in 20s

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Police scoured a Fedex facility in Indianapolis and interviewed scores of witnesses Friday in search of a motive for the latest mass shooting to rock the U.S., as family members of the eight victims spent agonizing hours waiting for word on their loved ones.
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.
Deputy Chief Craig McCartt of the Indianapolis police said the gunman started randomly shooting at people in the parking lot and then went into the building and continued firing. He said the gunman apparently died by suicide shortly before police entered 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 four people were killed outside the building and another four inside. Several people were also wounded, including five taken to the hospital.

The carnage took just a couple of minutes. “It did not last very long,” he said.
Officials with the coroner’s office said they had not been able to get to the scene to identify the victims because evidence is still being collected.
The families’ agonizing waiting was exacerbated by the fact that most employees aren’t allowed to carry cellphones inside the FedEx building, making contact with them difficult.
“When you see notifications on your phone, but you’re not getting a text back from your kid and you’re not getting information and you still don’t know where they are … what are you supposed to do?” Mindy Carson said early Friday, fighting back tears.
At 11:30 a.m., Carson said she had just heard from her daughter, Jessica, who works in the facility. She said her daughter was OK and she was going to meet her, but didn’t say where.
It was the latest in a recent string of mass shootings across the U.S. Last month, eight people were fatally shot at massage businesses across the Atlanta area, and 10 died in gunfire at a supermarket in Boulder, Colorado.
It was at least the third mass shooting this year in Indianapolis alone. Five people, including a pregnant woman, were shot and killed in January, and a man was accused of killing three adults and a child before abducting his daughter during at argument at a home in March.
Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett said the community must guard against resignation and “the assumption that this is simply how it must be and we might as well get used to it.”
President Joe Biden said he had been briefed on the shooting and called gun violence “an epidemic” in the U.S.

“Too many Americans are dying every single day from gun violence. It stains our character and pierces the very soul of our nation,” he said in a statement.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she was “horrified and heartbroken” by the shooting and called for congressional action on gun control.
“As we pray for the families of all affected, we must work urgently to enact commonsense gun violence prevention laws to save lives & prevent this suffering,” the Democratic leader said in a tweet.
A witness said that he was working inside the building when he heard several gunshots in rapid succession.
“I see a man come out with a rifle in his hand and he starts firing and he starts yelling stuff that I could not understand,” Levi Miller told WTHR-TV. “What I ended up doing was ducking down to make sure he did not see me because I thought he would see me and he would shoot me.”
Gov. Eric Holcomb ordered flags to be flown at half-staff until April 20, and he and others decried the shooting, with some noting how frequent such attacks are.
Chris Bavender, a spokesperson for the FBI’s Indianapolis office, said that they are helping the police with the investigation.
A man told WTTV that his niece was sitting in the driver’s seat of her car 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.”

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The former employee who shot and killed eight people at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis was interviewed by FBI agents last year, after his mother called police to say that her son might commit “suicide by cop,” the bureau said Friday.
