There seems to be a pattern. These idiots are out there.....the FBI knew about them over a year ago.....yet nothing was done about them....WTF????
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The former employee who shot and killed eight people at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis was interviewed by FBI agents last year, after his mother called police to say that her son might commit “suicide by cop,” the bureau said Friday.

They sent him for an eval and the "mental health professionals" said he wasn't a risk. The FBI didn't give back his shotgun. What else could they do? He hadn't done anything yet.
Sadly, more should have been done without question. Ineffective mental health response is not being addressed...only a lot of political talk about it. Individuals suffering with psychosis and similar conditions are often just like this: socially isolated due to their own mental condition, something builds enough so he "tipped off" his mom with his goal to commit "suicide by cop", his father's death by suicide was a HUGE red flag, yet was he placed on psych meds or placed under a longer term evaluation?

Sounds to me had they found evidence that he was against a specific ethnic group the FBI would have extended their investigation, but without that specific evidence they stopped. Good grief.
The shooter's step-sister stated he was not helped enough, and that appears to be the case. Now, exactly who is to accept responsibility for the lack of help that he needed and didn't receive after the mother notified them with what he's said and the gun he had which was confiscated.
The stepsister of 19-year-old Brandon Scott Hole, the suspected gunman in Thursday’s mass shooting at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis described him as “isolated,” in an exclusive…
