Brandon Scott Hole was identified by police as the 19-year-old mass shooter who killed eight people and wounded more at an Indianapolis, Indiana, FedEx Ground facility, on Thursday, April 15, 2021.

Hole died at the scene, police believe from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. “FedEx officials have confirmed that Mr. Hole was a former employee of the facility and he was last employed in 2020,” Deputy Chief Craig McCartt said in an afternoon news conference. He said there were at least 100 people in the facility at the time of the shooting. Many people were changing shifts and some were on their dinner break.

Hole was fired from FedEx, family and friends told Fox59 reporter Angela Ganote. The reason is not clear. The suspect’s full name is Brandon Scott Hole; he lived in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The mass shooting broke out in the parking lot and facility near the Indianapolis airport. Reports emerged of people hiding under conveyor belts and being shot in an office and parking lot by a shooter armed with a rifle or machine gun. The weapon was a .223 caliber rifle, according to dispatch audio. He was described as a lone gunman in a hoodie or hat who started randomly shooting in the parking lot before going inside, where a cell phone ban policy stopped some terrified workers from calling for help.

The victims’ names have now been released. Members of the Sikh community were among the victims, the Indianapolis Star reported. The victims are:

Matthew R. Alexander, 32.
Samaria Blackwell, 19.
Amarjeet Johal, 66.
Jaswinder Kaur, 64.
Jaswinder Singh, 68.
Amarjit Skhon, 48.
Karli Smith, 19.
John Weisert, 74.

Suicidal, had shotgun taken from him back in 2020, placed in mental hospital for a time but released later. Fast forward and voila, mass shooting. Looks like your typical incel kid but that's just my opinion.

Half of all mass shooting are by the mentally ill. Another case where he was reported but acquired a rifle anyway.
"[his mother] told police that he might try to commit “suicide by cop” in March 2020,"

Fake News will call him a white supremacist, even though he was wearing a hoodie!

If he had a laptop full of porn and smoked crack Biden could say "That could be my son"

That really sucks.

Sikhism is one of the most peaceful religions out there, having branched off from Jainism which is the most peaceful of religions.

Right ... https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/indian-army-storms-golden-temple

The Sikh religion, which was founded in the late 15th century by Guru Nanak, combines elements of Hinduism and Islam, the two major religions of India. The religion is centered on the Indian state of Punjab in northern India, where Sikhs comprise a majority and speak Punjabi. In the 1970s, agricultural advances made Punjab one of India’s most prosperous states, and Sikh leaders began calling for greater autonomy from the central government. This movement was largely peaceful until 1982, when the Sikh fundamentalist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and his followers launched a separatist campaign in Punjab. Employing terrorism and assassination, Bhindranwale and his guerrillas killed scores of political opponents and Hindu civilians in the name of establishing an autonomous Sikh Khalistan, or “Land of the Pure.” Most Sikhs did not support Bhindranwale’s violent campaign, in which the extremists also assassinated several Sikhs who spoke out against the creation of Khalistan.

Eh, I have yet to experience anything bad from East Indians other than phone scammers or customer support scammers from India itself. They're bascially low key. When's the last time you see a Sikh terrorist attack in the US? Can't even remember any because it would be so damn rare. It's either an Arab or a White nationalist.

You're comparing Indian army in India... I am talking about the ones living in North America. Literally the most peaceful imo. Yet to see a beheading by them here, heh.

Conspiracy nuts tend to find any way to justify their disdain for someone who is different.

What does their religion have to do with anything? Sikhism likely has nothing to do with their death. They just happened to be the employees present at the time. What religion were Matthew R. Alexander, Karli Smith and John Weisert?

Yeah the guy was white so I'm sure the media and the politicians will craft a racist narrative to go along with their desire for a mass gun grab.

IMO, if you had to be a member of a "well-regulated militia" that had a responsible leader, maybe a former Corporal, this dude might have been reported somewhere.
