Hole was a former employee of the FedEx Ground Facility. The company’s spokesperson, Borris Harrison, released the information on April 16.

She said the company’s officials could not speculate on a possible motive behind Hole’s actions and work closely with the investigators. He was last employed by the company in 2020.

Among the victims were four members of the local Sikh community, including a mother, father, and two grandmothers. Between the 19-year-olds victims were a father and a university graduate.

The police said it remains unclear whether the members were targeted or not. The officers added that around 90% of workers at the facility are members of the Sikh community.

According to the IMPD, the shooter has had trouble with the law on two occasions, including one incident from 2020 where the police seized a weapon.

The suspect fired shots both inside and outside the FedEx facility before turning the gun on himself, police said. The incident was America’s deadliest shooting since ten people were gunned down on March 22 at a grocery store in Colorado.
