Lawsuits Filed Against Gun Industry Following Indianapolis FedEx Shooting
The family of a victim and two survivors of the 2021 mass shooting at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis have filed a lawsuit against American Tactical Inc., a magazine distributor, alleging that the company used reckless marketing tactics that targeted young men who are at risk for violent behavior. The lawsuit accuses American Tactical Inc. of failing as a distributor for providing violent people access to purchase a high-capacity magazine, which would allow for the weapon to fire off a dozen rounds without reloading. The lawsuit was filed in a federal court in New York, where it argues that American Tactical Inc. was the exclusive importer of these magazines and sold the magazine used by the gunman.
