The fact that Hole was able to purchase two semi-automatic weapons afterwards indicates, according to police chief Randal Taylor, that the authorities, despite the mother’s warning, did not ask the judge to classify him as a potential risk case. In that case, Hole may have been denied the right to a weapon. Taylor was unsure whether such a hearing took place.
Hole was a former FedEx employee and is said to have worked at the facility in the fall of 2020 where he shot eight people on Friday before he killed himself.
Sikhs
The shooting at the FedEx branch shocked the residents of Indianapolis and hit the Sikh community especially hard. At least four victims were Sikhs.
Advocacy groups of this religious group have asked the police to investigate whether Brandon was specifically targeting their fellow believers.
