Brandon Scott Hole, 19, was identified as the alleged shooter of the FedEx warehouse in Indianapolis.
The alleged gunman's family warned authorities about his potential for violence before the mass shooting, according to CNN.
The shooter pulled the weapon out of his trunk and allegedly started shooting for up to two minutes during a FedEx night shift change, witnesses claimed.
Employee Jeremiah Miller told WISH that he watched the mass shooting unfold inside the warehouse, saying: "I saw a man with a submachine gun of some sort, an automatic rifle, and he was firing in the open.
"I immediately ducked down and got scared and my friend’s mother, she came in and told us to get inside the car."
The FBI searched Hole’s home upon the shooting.
What happened to Brandon Scott Hole? Cops arrived at the scene on Mirabel Road at about 11pm and found several bodies scattered all over the warehouse, one reportedly being Hole’s.
It is believed he shot himself in the head after police arrived at the facility.
In police dispatch audio published by Heavy, the suspect was described as a "white male wearing a hat" or hoodie and carrying a rifle type weapon.
The shooting claimed the lives of eight people and injured over 60

"Unless there’s another person out, this is going to be our suspect here."
What did police say about the FedEx shooting? Indianapolis police spokesperson Genae Cook told reporters: “Today it is very heartbreaking and, you know, in the Annapolis Metro Police Department, the officers responded, they came in, they went in and they did their job.
"And a lot of them are trying to face this because this is a sight that no one should ever have to see."
Cooks added that officers are still working to identify the shooter and said that "this is going to go long into the morning."
"We're still trying to ascertain the exact reason and cause for this incident," Cook said.
A witness claimed that Hole worked at the facility, though police have yet to confirm that.
The FedEx facility employs more than 4,500 people and it is the company's second largest hub in the world.
19 years old...What a waste of life
Still no picture. I wonder why. If it was some white Christian MAGA gun owner his picture would be pasted all over the internet by now.
“Brandon Scott Hole,...”
I heard he had a brother named Assa...
Just sayin’....
Be was BS Hole.....................
“The alleged gunman’s family warned authorities about his potential for violence before the mass shooting, according to CNN. “
This is a consistent theme.
I’m starting to wonder why.
Their standard answer is “Until a crime has been committed, we can do nothing.”.....................
Yes, he was “known to police”.
The important thing is that he was firing a “ sub-machine gun of some sort, an automatic rifle, and he was firing in the open.”
That’s all we need to know.
Adjudicated mentally unfit is also needed. I’m really wary of red flag laws. To me if someone is too messed up to have a gun they probably shouldn’t be on the streets at all. You’ll still have first timers like this get through the cracks though, no matter what.
“I saw a man with a submachine gun of some sort, an automatic rifle”
Well that’s convenient. Isn’t that what they’re trying to ban now?
UNIDENTIFIED:
The person who slaughtered Ashli Babbitt.
When there finally is a picture, I expect the British press to give it to us.
“This is a consistent theme.
I’m starting to wonder why.”
It’s just another straw on the camel’s back on the march to total gun confiscation.
The brainwashed liberal loon “wet boys” have their orders, and are waiting every day for their go code.
Rudy Giuliani did that exact thing with the Squeegee Men when he turned around NYC. Of course, the liberals were angry, went to court and reversed his policy. NYC started to decline after he left and, as we all know, is in its death spiral now.
How messed up does a family member need to be if you are calling the cops to warn them.
I don’t know about the average family out there, but it would need to be real bad for me to rat out a relative.
Very sad.
Another example of the mental health policies of the 1970s comig home to roost !
WTHR in Indianapolis has a rundown on him. He tried to commit suicide and had a shotgun a while back. He was taken by police to a mental health facility. He should have been barred from purchasing firearms.
Or in difi’s words, spray firing like a hose.
