INDIANAPOLIS — Multiple people were injured on Wednesday after shots were fired at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis, according to police.

Jeremiah Miller had finished a shift at the FedEx facility and was preparing to work a second consecutive shift when he and a coworker, Timothy Boillat, said they heard gunfire, the television station reported.

“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,” 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.”

Imagine still wanting to live in that country full time. Too many easy ways to get weapons illegally for this to EVER stop, ever.

The people doing this wont care about any gun law passed, theyll find a way.

This sh!t feel like an everyday experience at this point. I hated working from home, hate the covid lockdowns but some sh!t is really a blessing in disguise. Between the kkkops and the crazy mass shooters who really wants to go outside anymore? Prayers to the families of the victims. This country is trash. Soon as I save up enough money I'm going back home.

What the hell is going on with all these back to back shootings?

Unfortunately, as things open up, overall violence is probably going to increase. Folks are mad af these days, the road rage in my city has never been worse. There have been numerous shootings these last few weeks over people cutting each other off in traffic!

A lot of mixed stories coming out. They haven't released dead or wounded counts because some of the victims were driven to the hospital by co-workers.

Workers are not allowed to have their phones while working. Many ran out without their phones and can't get back in. A lot of panicked families can't reach their loved ones. Fedex has a large complex and operate an airport wing in the area so a lot of confusion about what building was shot up. Families directed to a nearby hotel for information if they can't reach relatives that work there.

Rumors about it being a dispute over a shorted pay check. Trump supporters are also spreading false info on Facebook so take this as a grain of salt for now.

Not trying to be funny but if any mail institution needs to under gun fire, it would be USPS, them mfs stay losing mail, lying about deliveries they know they ain't made and avoiding calls.

Now they need to address how terrible and unsafe it is to confiscate your workers’ phones on the floor in this day and age. I wouldn’t let my first grader out without a phone to contact home in emergencies.

now peoples families are worried.

FedEx has been more of a hot mess than usual lately. I overnighted something Thursday and it just showed up Tuesday but it ain’t that damn deep to shoot up the place. I hope there isn’t any casualties other than the shooter or that many. We can’t even go anywhere without being paranoid that some low life evil person will blame the world for their pathetic life and shoot up or drive through a crowd.

I'm starting to lose count of shootings. Indy had a mass shooting where a teen shot his whole family a couple months ago because they told him not to go outside. A man shot his co-worker because, "He didn't like his face." Then the man who shot his baby mother's entire family last month over a stimulus check. There is never a acceptable reason but all of these shootings stem from some trivial bs.

Can we talk about male violence yet or is it still *too soon*? If any other group of people was out there committing the amount of murders, rapes, assaults and other crimes, they would be put on a terrorist watch list just by demographic.

Update: Police press conference.

Shooter killed himself. Not releasing shooters identity or confirming if he worked at FedEx. Still investigating motive. (News states it was a male.)

8 found dead at the scene not counting shooter.

They only mentioned 9 survivors cared for by EMTs but they believe there are more. Number of total shot unknown because some were taken to hospitals by co-workers before the ambulances arrived. They were taken to 3 or 4 different hospitals and detectives are confirming who they are.

They're saying 60 total injured. Not clear if this is only gun shot wounds or including those who were injured in other ways. I heard 60 last night but wanted to wait until the press mentioned it.

I know people who work there and all I'm aware of have been accounted for.

Can’t sleep and currently seeing this on the news.

I‘m over this country.

Thoughts and prayers, debate about gun control, talk mental illness, nothing gets done and bam another shooting.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

America is a sh!t show but then again so is the rest of the world. There’s no place that’s safe for black people.

God help us all.

I am so sad this happened. I hate to sound rude or like a conspiracy theorist but with the number of mass shootings happening lately I am starting to think these are planned...
