Few things: don't shoot the messenger. And, I have no dog in this fight.
However, it puzzles me that when a decent guy, with no ill will or intent, states that the incident has no relation to FedEx or us- that it invites speculation and/or misinformation.
Why can't we take it at face value and trust the word of a fellow pilot and hard working volunteer? It didn't cause me to speculate or give misinformation. I took his words and moved on.
For the record, it was Don Ray. He doesn't hide from anything including this issue.
The family asked for privacy. Giving out information can hurt the police investigation. So, Don just said it didn't have anything to do with FedEx. I believe him.
Nothing personal against any of the reps, but "it didn't have anything to do with FedEx" leaves a lot of questions unanswered. Also, nothing against you, messenger or otherwise, as I was not accusing you of speculation or misinformation, but a vacuum of information tends to get filled, and usually with less than perfect information.
Even the statement, "Giving out information can hurt the police investigation" is suspect. Telling us where the driver was coming from, going to, where he was shot, and whether it was random, road rage, or some other activity is not going to divulge anything the shooter doesn't already know. If the statement is true, it raises more questions.
Don't condemn me for being concerned.
