Police on Friday identified the suspected shooter in the attack at an Indianapolis FedEx facility the previous night that left eight people dead as 19-year-old Brandon Scott Hole.
The Indianapolis Metro Police Department confirmed the gunman's identity in a press briefing Friday afternoon, adding that Hole was a former FedEx employee who was last employed in 2020.
A FedEx spokesperson had confirmed to the AP and The New York Times earlier Friday that Hole used to work for the company, and that it was cooperating closely with investigators.
