Fedex shooting, Sikh community asks US police to trace racial motives

The Sikh religious community in the United States has urged law enforcement to investigate the racial hate motive behind the shooting at a FedEX Indianapolis warehouse by a former employee. This is because four of the eight victims died came from the Sikh religious community.

"It is no coincidence that the shooter targeted a specific FedEx facility where he worked and knew that most of his staff were Sikhs," said the Executive Director of the Sikh Coalition, Satjeet Kaur, quoted from CNN, Sunday, April 18, 2021.

According to Kaur, this attack caused trauma to members of the Sikh community. He considered that the perpetrators did not choose their victims randomly.
"We therefore appeal to the government to ensure that these shootings are not simply stopped by the media or law enforcement and acknowledge what they are - deliberate actions intended to inflict the greatest harm on a wide variety of Americans," he said.
Eight people were killed and several others injured Thursday night when a former FedEx employee opened fire on a facility near Indianapolis's main airport. After carrying out the action, the perpetrator named Brandon Hole, 19 years old, committed suicide. Investigators are still trying to ascertain the motive behind the shooting.

Late Friday, Indianapolis police released the names of the eight victims who died. They are: Matthew R. Alexander, 32 years; Samaria Blackwell, 19 years old; Amarjeet Johal, 66 years old; Jasvinder Kaur, 50 years old; Jaswinder Singh, 68 years; Amarjit Sekhon, 48 years old; Karli Smith, 19 years; and John Weisert, 74 years old.

The shooting in the state capital of Indiana, the Midwest's third most populous city, is the latest in a spate of seven deadly mass shootings in the United States over the past month.
