Greenwood, Indiana mall shooting leaves 3 dead; armed civilian kills gunman, police say

GREENWOOD, Ind. -- A gunman who shot five people at a suburban Indianapolis shopping mall, killing three of them before a shopper shot and killed him, was a 20-year-old local man who was apparently facing eviction, authorities said Monday.

"Many more people would have died last night if not for a responsible armed citizen," said the chief, noting that authorities were still trying to determine a motive for the attack. As of July 1, Indiana law allows anyone age 18 or older to carry a handgun in public except for those prohibited for reasons such as having a felony conviction, facing a restraining order or having a dangerous mental illness as determined by a court. Indiana's Republican-dominated Legislature retained provisions in the law that allow private property owners to prohibit firearms.The attack Sunday was the latest in a string of mass shootings in the U.S.

Ison said Sapirman used one rifle in the shooting, but in the mall bathroom investigators recovered a second rifle and a pistol.

Greenwood, Indiana mall shooting leaves 3 dead; witness kills gunman, police sayPolice say three people were fatally shot and two were injured at an Indiana mall after a man with a rifle opened fire in a food court and an armed civilian shot and killed him. What was that last part, again? The armed civilian, presumably armed with a handgun, was not afraid of the shooter with a rifle and several magazines. Yet idiots are saying that the Uvalde cops were scared of the shooter's rifle.... And now 3 people are hospitalized and 2 go to jail. Which could easily be avoided if guns just weren’t around.

3 dead in Indiana mall shooting; witness kills gunman, police sayThree people were fatally shot and two were injured Sunday evening at an Indiana mall after a man with a rifle opened fire in a food court and an armed civilian shot and killed him, police said. It seems that, much like airplane hijacking, people must take action immediately on their own. You see someone with a long gun anywhere near public infrastructure, you take them out, no questions asked. Or we keep the most dangerous ones from getting guns. Which will it be?
