The man who killed eight people at an Indiana FedEx facility was identified as 19-year-old Brandon Scott Hole — as police revealed there are a “significant” number of Sikh community members who work at the targeted site, according to reports.
Hole was identified by law enforcement sources to NBC News.
Another report only said Hole and his potential for violence were known to local and federal authorities.
Indianapolis FedEx gunman, 19, was an ex-employee who had ‘been fired and previously had a gun seized by police’ before he shot dead eight people and killed himself in a two minute rampage
A police report obtained by WTHR shows authorities were called to Hole’s home in March last year to detain him after he allegedly voiced suicidal ideas after buying a shotgun 24 hours earlier. In that incident, the report said police, who later took Hole to hospital, had ‘seized shotgun from dangerous person’.
