St. Louis Police said the driver stopped due to a large gathering of protesters. While he was stopped, several people gained access to the first trailer and started to remove items.
Two men,"while standing on the passenger side footboard of the truck cab, displayed guns to the driver. The driver, fearing for his safety, sounded the airhorn and drove off until he was stopped by police," Sgt. Keith Barrett said in a statement. The driver didn't realize that a person was stuck on the converter dolly between the two trailers, police said. The man had been caught by the trailer tire, pulled under and was eventually run over by the tire.
Authorities are now investigating the incident but they believe the man who died appeared to be one of the protesters. “Our hearts go out to all those who are grieving the events of this week. We are deeply saddened to learn of a tragic situation involving a demonstrator in St. Louis and one of our vehicles. We offer our sincerest condolences to the family of the individual involved. There is no higher priority for FedEx than safety, and we are cooperating fully with the investigating authorities at this time,” FedEx said in a statement obtained byThe protests began at around 11:30 p.m.

Hey NBC news, why don’t you go away for awhile...You’re not mature enough to join, or contribute to the debate. It is clearly evident in what you are attempting to do here. We won’t stand for incitement and falsely painted a picture that distorts the truth. Pick and choose much?
Bet he won't do that again.
'Man fatally stuck while looting a FedEx truck and threatening driver' - there I fixed you lying sacks
Lets see the other story. Store owner fataly attacked by rioters. Police fataly attacked by rioters. Occupied business and apartments burned by rioters. Vehicle drivers ripped from their cars and beaten by rioters. Stop defending these thugs
He was looting and robbing so good
Get the fuck out of the way of the truck then
FakeNews
Let’s hope this was just an innocent accident.
As soon as COVID contained and I can get on a plane, I’m flying to Canada. It’s getting very depressing and crazy here
He did it to himself.
Fed ex driver was in the right. Kept this from happening...

Oh NBC still trying to be number one by lying and exaggerating. Please report the news factually not emotionally. You’ll be number one if you do. I’m sure of this.
They were attacking the truck.
They were looting the truck. Nice headlines.
They terrorized that poor driver- he did NOTHING wrong.
I think the lesson here is: don’t f*uck with corporate America. 💪🚛🚚🚐🇺🇸
Don't play on the freeway.
Never stand around in the streets. Bad move.
Was the package delivered?
Let’s go get fed ex.
You try to rob an 18 wheeler on foot you have a good chance of being ran down.
The problem is not with President Trump, his racist politics, and his fossilized heart, but in his followers and advisors who constantly deceive him and tell him that he is the greatest president in American history.
Stand in the street gunna happen.
Blame all the terrorists.
😢
Fed ex in trouble
Cop driving it ?
Attempted robbery suspect*
Because he and a bunch of others were attacking the truck
a riot is not a pretty thing, a race riot is as dangerous as dangerous gets. it's the reason you never want to elect racist politicians to offices of power, and you never ever under any circumstances want to elect an openly racist president
Block the road and things happen
Should not have been there protest ing
