Police say the actions of a Good Samaritan were ‘nothing short of heroic’ in limiting the number of casualties from the shooting spree at a shopping mall near Indianapolis
The gunman who killed three people at a shopping mall near Indianapolis over the weekend before an armed bystander shot him dead was a 20-year-old local who had a juvenile record but no criminal history as an adult, the police chief said on Monday.
In addition to the gunman, three people were killed and two others were wounded, Greenwood Police Chief Jim Ison told a news briefing. Two of the fatalities were a husband and wife, age 56 and 37 years old, respectively, officials said. The third was a 30-year-old man. “Many more people would’ve died last night if not for a responsible armed citizen that took action very quickly within the first two minutes of the shooting,” Ison told reporters.Federal and local authorities searched the apartment of the suspected gunman early on Monday, a Fox News affiliate in Indianapolis.
“We will say it again: The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” the National Rifle Association said in a tweet on Monday morning. The shooting comes just weeks after the Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb signed a bill into law repealing the state’s handgun permit requirement. Now, anyone 18 years of age or older who is not legally prohibited from firearm possession may generally carry a concealed handgun in public.
