Eight people have been killed and many injured in a shooting in the US city of Indianapolis, police say.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Witnesses heard several gunshots at a FedEx facility and one said he saw a man firing an automatic weapon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The gunman, said to have been acting alone, is reported to have killed himself. Authorities said there was no further threat to public safety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Flights from the nearby international airport, where the FedEx Express cargo airline has a hub, are not affected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“As officers arrived, they came into contact with an active shooting incident,” city police spokeswoman Genae Cook said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“We have located eight people with gunshot wounds who were pronounced deceased at the scene.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Several others have been taken to hospital with injuries, Ms Cook added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

A FedEx statement said the company was aware of the shooting and cooperating with the authorities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Safety is our top priority, and our thoughts are with all those who are affected,” it said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

AFP news agency quoted FedEx worker Jeremiah Miller as saying he saw the gunman firing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“I saw a man with a sub-machine gun of some sort, an automatic rifle, and he was firing in the open. I immediately ducked down and got scared,” he said.<\/p>\n
