Public safety officials announced Wednesday that the man who carried out a mass shooting this spring at an Indianapolis FedEx facility was motivated by suicide, not racial bias.
On April 15, 19-year-old Brandon Hole shot and killed eight people working at the FedEx Ground Plainfield facility located in the city’s southwest side on Mirabel Road. After shooting the employees who ranged in age from 19 to 74 Hole shot himself, ending his life. Half of the victims were members of the Sikh community.
Officials from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI said at a press conference Wednesday that their investigation into the incident is complete, and Hole committed the crime because he wanted to die by suicide and kill others before he did so. The investigation revealed Hole had suicidal thoughts daily leading up the shooting.
