Multiple people have been shot at a Fedex parcel delivery facility in Indianapolis and the suspected gunman has killed himself, police say.

When police arrived late on Thursday, officers observed an active shooting at the facility, Indianapolis police spokesperson Genae Cook told reporters early on Friday.

Cook confirmed multiple people were shot but did not give a specific number. She added that the gunman died and the public is not believed to be in immediate danger.

Live video from news outlets at the scene showed crime scene tape in the parking lot outside the facility.

A witness who said he works at the facility told WISH-TV that he saw a man with a gun after hearing several gunshots.

“I saw a man with a submachine gun of some sort, an automatic rifle, and he was firing in the open,” Jeremiah Miller said.
