Authorities said on Friday that it was still too early to know what motivated a gunman who killed eight employees at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis and wounded several others before taking his own life. Witnesses described a chaotic scene, as the gunman opened fire in the parking lot before entering the facility and continuing to fire. Officers found the suspect dead inside the facility of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, along with four victims. FBI Indianapolis Special Agent in Charge Paul Keenan said it would be “premature to speculate” on the gumnan’s motive. A FedEx employee, Levi Miller, told NBC’s “Today Show” he saw a “hooded figure” holding what appeared to be an AR-style semi-automatic rifle who shouted and opened fire outside the facility.
