The former employee who shot and killed eight people at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis was interviewed by FBI agents last year, after his mother called police to say that her son might commit “suicide by cop,” the bureau said Friday.
Coroners released the names of the victims late Friday, a little less than 24 hours after the latest mass shooting to rock the U.S. Four of them were members of Indianapolis' Sikh community. The attack was another blow to the Asian American community a month after six people of Asian descent were killed in a mass shooting in the Atlanta area and amid ongoing attacks against Asian Americans during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Marion County Coroner's office identified the dead as Matthew R. Alexander, 32; Samaria Blackwell, 19; Amarjeet Johal, 66; Jaswinder Kaur, 64; Jaswinder Singh, 68; Amarjit Sekhon, 48; Karli Smith, 19; and John Weisert, 74.
The shooter was identified as Brandon Scott Hole, 19, of Indianapolis, Deputy Police Chief Craig McCartt told a news conference. Investigators searched a home in Indianapolis associated with Hole and seized evidence, including desktop computers and other electronic media, McCartt said.
Hole began firing randomly at people in the parking lot of the FedEx facility late Thursday, killing four, before entering the building, fatally shooting four more people and then turning the gun on himself, McCartt said. He said he did not know if Hole owned the gun legally.
“There was no confrontation with anyone that was there,” he said. “There was no disturbance, there was no argument. He just appeared to randomly start shooting.”
McCartt said the slayings took place in a matter of minutes, and that there were at least 100 people in the facility at the time. Many were changing shifts or were on their dinner break .

Amazing the number of shooters that had been looked at one way or the other by the FBI.
The FBI has gotten so good at dropping the ball maybe we should start calling them the Detroit Lions.
CC
Keystone cops AGAIN, if these bastards weren’t so busy trying to round up Trump supporters they could focus on REAL threats!! These damn shooters are ALWAYS on FBI radar BUT never seem to be stopped, except of course 9/11 when these IDIOTS just seem to miss the entire plot completely!! Most USELESS organization from top to bottom!! Russia handed them the info on the Boson bombers on a silver platter BUT of course they chose to ignore them!! IDIOTS!!!
So, he just quit of his own accord and shot himself? And no mention of the concealed carrier that he killed?
Make up your minds, AP. Are they Asians or Indians? Indians are called Asians in the UK, not here so quit trying to pad the Asian hate crime statistics.
And one of the 7 tenant’s of being a sihk is being armed / self defense
gurkas would have kicked his ass
How about the FBI using some common sense beyond racially motivated tunnel vision. Nothing elaborate. Could be as simple as adding obsession with My Little Pony to the FBI profile assessment.

4 of them were Sikh not to be confused with mooslime (people often confuse the two). Only thing they had to do with being Asian was being from the Asian continent.
Something about that boy aint right,but he is a nice fellow
What do you want the FBI to do? The guy hadn’t committed any crimes(at least as far as we know at this time). Preemptive removal of basic rights is a slippery slope. What happens when it turns on you?
Hello FBI tip line...I want to report an online Trump supporter that goes by the name “Trump Girl Kit Cat’.
From Newsweek...
“UPDATE-During Thursday’s incident, the suspect, Brandon Hole, was witnessed using assault rifles in the assault. ATF conducted a trace on the two weapons. IMPD learned that Brandon Hole purchased the rifles legally in July and September of 2020,” the IMPD stated Saturday night.
Huh?
Of course he was on the radar.
When you are recruiting an actor, you would have him on your radar.
More failed government yet while government fails time and time again, leftist democrats demand more government as the answer to everything and then keep trying to enact laws to turn gun owners into criminals overnight.
Why was the FBI involved? Isn't this a task usually handled by local law enforcement?
(Otherwise, this fits the pattern of someone who was bat**** crazy, and the police, FBI and everyone around him knew that he was bat**** crazy, and did nothing about it.)
No wonder the FBI gets away with criminal conduct in cases like “Russiagate.” We have FREEPERS who are totally comfortable with living in a police state.
Because some may actually be gov. CIA, for instance, is notorious for infiltration, propaganda, and causing their desired actions.
Asian community?
Asians have been slaughtering other Asians for the last 3,000 years.
Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs have been slaughtering each other for centuries.
