Both inside and outside the building, the carnage left 8 people dead, 4 wounded, and one other person hit with shrapnel. The suspect then killed himself, making the death total 9. But in the midst of the carnage, gun control advocates are once again calling for more gun laws. The FedEx Ground Facility in Indianapolis is close to the Indianapolis International Airport. (CBS)

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.
Though the officer stated that he found “two rifles,” that is unclear. Witnesses stated that the man pulled a rifle out of his trunk and immedately began shooting, but said nothing about two rifles. At one point they said there were two shooters, but police are confident there was only one. This incident may not be a “random” shooting, but we will update when more information is known.
It is unclear at this time whether the suspect was an employee or former employee.
The FedEx Ground Facility has a policy that prohibits employees from using their phones inside, so it created frustration for family members who couldn’t reach their loved ones when the news broke last night.
Family members arriving to nearby Holiday Inn after shooting at Fed-Ex facility. Frustration as they say they haven’t been able to reach family working inside. Say there is a policy barring workers carrying phones on shift @WTHRcom pic.twitter.com/78Nr9QDT8h

IMPD says some employees are still being questioned and may be unable to call. Loved ones are asked to go to the Holiday Inn near the Indianapolis Airport to wait. https://t.co/YlVGaGeLkH

The mantra of gun control advocates is that this sort of thing “never happens in other countries” – which is totally false. Mass shooting incidents have happened in numerous other countries, but because our media keeps the wraps on them, we don’t hear about it. Everything from mass knife attacks at schools in China, mass shootings in France and Norway have occurred. It’s about the criminal, not the weapon used. Ignorance fuels the fire: even one of the witnesses to this FedEx Ground Facility shooting called the weapon used a “machine gun.” Obviously it was not.
The fact is that these incidents are used by Democrats to destroy your right to keep and bear arms. Criminals will kill using whatever weapon they can find. Groups like Moms Demand Action push “background checks” which are useless to stop them. Ignorant Republicans allow the emotional push as well.
