Prayers up!
Indeed!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
7:45 a.m.: Hundreds of police are on the scene of a shooting at the FedEx facility in Kennesaw. It’s an active scene, police tell The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s John Spink.
Let me hazard a guess: the shooter is a former employee who is angry because management didn't realize what a special and unique flower he is, and so he murdering the non-useless people who dared to make him feel bad about his little self.
What the hell.
What ever happened to telling the supervisor to go f themselves, slamming the door and storming out.
Why do we have to bring guns into this stuff.
Thanks for the update!
Yes, prayers.
Depending on the agenda of the media, I suppose we will hear about the shooter for a number of news cycles, or not.
Who knows what dark thoughts lurk in someone’s mind?
KENNESAW, Ga. — A shooting was reported at a FedEx facility in Kennesaw at around 5:45 a.m. Tuesday.
Cobb County Police Sgt. Dana Pierce said the male suspect, who has not been identified, arrived at the facility at 1675 Airport Road and started shooting at people. The suspect ran after the shooting and has not yet been caught.
More than 50 emergency vehicles descended upon the scene.
There were multiple victims, all of whom were taken to WellStar Kennestone Hospital; their names and conditions were not immediately released.
According to CNN, six people were shot. One of the victims is in surgery.
11Alive’s Paul Crawley reported from the scene that FedEx employees were being turned away as they tried to arrive at work. Those who were already at work were held in a warehouse on the property. The facility is on lockdown.

I hope they get the shooter ASAP, and that everyone recovers from their wounds.
Hope so. Guy ran off.
How's that working out for Fedex management?
Interesting
I had to go to the Dallas FedEx warehouse once. I arrived during a shift change and literally every single employee that went in was wearing a SEIU shirt.
Aren’t Kennesaw, GA residents “required” to own guns? I’ll be curious as to whether the shooter is a Kennesaw resident...and whether FedEx allows or disallows employees to carry while working.
If the injured employees had any sense, they’d sue FedEx for infringing on their constitutional rights. But I see in a later post that they’re SEIU.
You answered my question. See #17. Thanks.
Guess they do. Thanks for that information. I had no idea. Somehow, the media will spin that.
