A man shot and killed eight people and wounded several others Thursday night at a FedEx Corp. facility in Indianapolis before killing himself, the city’s police said, the third shooting of this scale in recent weeks. The shooting suspect has been identified as Brandon Hole, 19 years old, according to law-enforcement officials. Mr. Hole was a former employee of FedEx, and his employment ended in 2020, police said. Around 11 p.m. Thursday, the suspect arrived at the FedEx Ground facility’s parking lot, got out of his car and started shooting at people, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Deputy Chief Craig McCartt said at a news conference Friday morning. The man then entered the building, shooting at more people before killing himself.

The suspect used a rifle, police said. Police and local FBI agents were searching a couple of locations and a car related to Mr. Hole, they said.
