Default Fedex driver kills man in altercation

I wonder what the driver’s employment status is? He brought a deadly weapon to work, a fist.

Doubt he'll keep the job if he was driving a company truck. Shouldn't have engaged the dude on company time.

No charges for FedEx driver who responded to 'racist vitriol' by fatally punching back

The FedEx EXPRESS truck in the picture in the header of the Fox News article might lead most people to believe the subject driver is an employee of FedEx Express. The USA Today article includes a statement from FedEx Ground. As you may recall, FedEx has disavowed employer-employee status with Ground drivers. FedEx maintains they are independent contractors.


Also, "'The wound caused by the punch was "superficial and not fatal,' Senior Deputy District Attorney Adam Gibbs is quoted in the release. However, Magnuson's fall following the punch aggravated pre-existing conditions, leading to his death, authorities found."

Still, I'm guessing the driver and FedEx Ground and FedEx Corp all wish he had kept driving and ignored the bum.
