MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Action News 5 confirmed that a FedEx pilot was shot in the middle of the night while asleep in bed. The aviator was staying in a home in Sherwood Forest, a neighborhood right next to the University of Memphis Park Avenue campus.
FedEx employs more than 5,500 of the world’s most experienced pilots. Many are military veterans. If they live out of town but will be flying out of the Memphis hub, they stay overnight in a crash pad, a cheap place to rent close to the airport.
