A former FedEx employee who is accused of shooting and killing eight people at a parking lot of the global shipping corporation in Indianapolis never was called before a judge for a hearing under the state’s “red flag” law after his mother warned authorities on concerns her son might be feeling suicidal.
The mother of 19-year-old Brandon Scott Hole issued the warning to police in March 2020, explaining her son might try to commit “suicide by cop” or force police to shoot him.
