SUMMARY: D'Monterrio Gibson, a former Black FedEx delivery driver in Mississippi, is filing a lawsuit seeking at least $5 million against two white men who shot into his work van and then pursued him in a high-speed chase, as well as against his former employer, FedEx. Gibson was not wounded during the attack but suffered emotional pain and suffering, loss of sleep and anxiety, and depression.

FedEx denies the allegations and fired Gibson after he did not accept a part-time, non-courier job.
