INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA — Late Thursday night, a gunman opened fire outside and inside a FedEx hub in Indianapolis, and dozens of people are reported to have been injured. Police confirmed during a press conference that 8 people were found dead at the scene.
Police arrived quickly and came upon an ‘active shooting incident’, and shortly after the suspect was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The investigation is extremely active and will be ongoing for some time.
FedEx reportedly has a company policy within their hub locations that employees cannot have their cell phone while working. As a result, employees were likely unable to make phone calls to police and loved ones during the incident. Since that announcement made public, it seems that FedEx is going to ‘re-evaluate its policy’.
NEW: FedEx says it will re-evaluate its policy of having employees give up and lock their phones inside warehouses and sorting facilities following tonight's mass shooting at a facility in Indianapolis.

That’s a great policy to get rid of, along with their ‘gun free zone’ which leaves sitting ducks.
This is a developing story.
