    FedEx: Mass shooter was a former employee of the company


    INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The man who police say fatally shot eight people at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis is a former employee. FedEx spokesperson Bonny Harrison released the information Friday. She says company officials can’t speculate on a motive but are working closely with investigators.

    Do not, under any circumstances, have the gun in your hand when the police arrive. As for the danger of being shot by another armed citizen - that's sort of a crapshoot, no pun intended. Maybe @Cletus has some guidance on lessening that hazard.

    INDIANAPOLIS — The 19-year-old gunman who killed eight people and injured seven others at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis late Thursday was a former employee of the company whose mother had warned law enforcement officials last year that he might try to commit “suicide by cop,” officials said.

    You are spot on with that.

    I always use the guideline "Always holster reluctantly", which just means not to holster until the threat is terminated, but once the threat is over, put it away. The last thing you want is for the Police to show up, see somebody, or a bunch of somebodies laying on the ground bleeding out and you standing there with a smoking gun in your hand.

    Remember, the cops are working off a guideline of their own... "In God we trust. Everyone else, show me your hands". Make sure those hands are empty when you show them to the Police.
