NEW: After a national outcry, FedEx has reinstated pay for a Black FedEx driver who alleges that two white men chased and shot at him while he was making deliveries.

FedEx had put D'Monterrio Gibson on unpaid leave after he refused to return to the route.https://t.co/Gtz7YMCahs
A Black FedEx driver who says he was shot at by a White father and son while delivering packages in Mississippi "can definitely see the similarities" between his case and that of Ahmaud Arbery, the Black man who was chased and murdered in south Georgia https://t.co/w2cSV2OpfR

Gregory Case and his son Brandon chased and SHOT at FedEx driver D'Monterrio Gibson while making deliveries. This is eerily similar to Ahmad Arbery's killing! They need to be charged w/ hate crimes & we need an investigation into their disturbing actions! https://t.co/BfWhlAZZ89

A Black FedEx driver was chased & shot at by 2 white men. It took days for them to be arrested & charged. He says he was racially profiled similarly to Ahmad Arbery. Do you agree? Have the last 2 years of protest in the name of George Floyd & others meant nothing?

The next day, Fedex put the driver on unpaid leave because he refused to deliver in the same white racist neighborhood that he was almost killed in. 🤦♀️

So much wrong with this story:
— Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) February 11, 2022
Mississippi men free on bail for weeks since shooting at a Black FedEx driver;
911 dispatcher accused FedEx driver of being a suspicious person in area;
FedEx didn’t file charges until they saw bullet holes in their packages. https://t.co/utyWyQIT6w
Horrifying. Two white men called 911 on D'Monterrio Gibson—a Black FedEx driver—then fired at him.
— Qasim Rashid, Esq. (@QasimRashid) February 5, 2022
When Gibson called 911, they said he'd been reported as a "suspicious person." Cops empathized w/the shooters, released them on bond, & FedEx put Gibson on the same route.
What?? https://t.co/ru8SuHvAqw
