Four of the Indianapolis Mass Shooting Victims Were from Sikh Community; Gunman Bought Arms Legally
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The eight victims of last week's mass shooting at an Indianapolis Fed Ex
facility have been identified. They are Matthew Alexander, Samaria
Blackwell, Amarjeet Johal, Jaswinder Singh, Amarjit Sekhon, Jasvinder
Kaur, Karli Smith, and John Weisert. Four of the victims are members of
the local Sikh community.

Meanwhile, the Indianapolis police revealed Brandon Hole, the
19-year-old white mass murderer and former Fed Ex employee, legally
purchased the two semiautomatic rifles used in the attack. They were
bought just a few months after police seized a shotgun from Hole after
his mother brought forward concerns about his mental state.
