People embrace after learning that their loved one was safe after the mass casualty shooting at the FedEx facility in Indianapolis, Indiana in the US late on Thursday. Without identifying him by name, FedEx spokesperson Bonny Harrison told the AP that the suspected gunman was a former employee. Indianapolis police said earlier that they had not yet discovered the gunman’s motive for opening fire with a rifle late on Thursday at a FedEx processing centre near the Indianapolis airport. The killings marked the latest in a string of recent mass shootings across the country and the third mass shooting this year in Indianapolis. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she was “horrified and heartbroken” by the shooting and called for congressional action on gun control.
