Sikh victims of FedEx shooting denied payout claims

INDIANAPOLIS(Diya TV) — In a major blow to victims of a mass shooting at an Indiana FedEx facility last year, the city of Indianapolis is denying a request for more than $2 million in compensation made by three members of the Sikh community who were injured or lost family members in the attack. Each requested $700,000 in damages from the city. They claimed that local officials failed to pursue a court hearing that could have prevented the shooter from accessing guns used in the attack.

The Supreme Court blocked the Biden administration from enforcing its sweeping vaccine-or-test requirements for large private companies, but allowed a vaccine mandate to stand for medical facilities that take Medicare or Medicaid payments.
