          THOSE AFFECTED BY THE FEDEX SHOOTING IN INDIANAPOLIS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. VICTORIA SPARTZ

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 7, 2021

  Mrs. SPARTZ. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor eight Hoosier lives 
lost at the FedEx facility in Indianapolis. I joined my fellow Indiana 
delegation members in leading our colleagues in a moment of silence on 
the house floor in their honor on April 21, 2021.
  Of the eight lives lost, four of those individuals belonged to the 
Sikh community in central Indiana. This community is small and tight 
knit. They are friends and colleagues who work together and worship 
together. The loss this community is feeling in the wake of this 
tragedy is unimaginable. I stand with the Sikh community and all those 
affected by this senseless act of violence.
  My deepest condolences are with all the families and friends who are 
experiencing unimaginable pain and loss. Our state and Nation mourn 
with them.
