A man with a rifle walked into an Indiana mall and opened fire in a food court Sunday evening. A law-abiding citizen with a permit to carry a handgun responded in seconds and was able to shoot and kill the suspect, ending the rampage.
The Greenwood Police Department said a lone suspect entered the food court area of the Greenwood Park Mall, located on Highway 31 on the south side of Indianapolis, around 1800 local time. The suspect was armed with a rifle and several magazines of ammunition and immediately began firing. He was identified as an adult male, and police have yet to release a motive.
The suspect killed three people and injured two during the rampage but was stopped short by a 22-year-old man carrying a gun lawfully. Police have not shared the man’s name, but local authorities are already calling the citizen who stopped the shooter a “real hero.”
“Someone we are calling the ‘Good Samaritan’ was able to shoot the assailant and stop further bloodshed,” Mayor Mark W. Myers wrote in a Facebook post.
“This person saved lives tonight. On behalf of the City of Greenwood, I am grateful for his quick action and heroism,” Myers continued.
Greenwood Police Chief Jim Ison reported during a media briefing from the mall’s parking lot that “the real hero of the day — is the citizen that was lawfully carrying a firearm in the food court and was able to stop the shooter almost as soon as he began.”
The left-leaning press fails to headline ‘a good guy with a gun’ stopped Sunday’s mass shooting (though it was mentioned within each respective article).

As the national debate rages about stricter gun control measures, a good guy with a gun neutralized a bad guy with a gun in his tracks.

Pretty sure the mall is a gun free zone even though Indiana has very lax carry laws
Kaput !!! congrats to the nice civilian !!! i know its anti semitic !!! and anti lgbt climate changer !!
I carry my pistol and hope to never use it…
In Canada the crooked corrupt stooges in government made purchase of handguns illegal. The criminals still get to have them.
Of course, what do you expect from the master of disguise, your dear Trudeau. Apart being a dictator, what else did that moron accomplished?
I have no idea what the story here is.
But I find it suspicious that, for the incident in Texas, a federal agent was the one to run in and kill the assailant while the local police stood outside and watched, doing nothing except keeping the public OUT of the area.
One member of the well regulated militia kills another member of the well regulated militia, but not in time to prevent innocent lives lost for no reason at all.
we are all hyenas—feminized bitter uncivilized…insecure herd lower species
I applaud the citizen who took down the shooter. But there is a problem with non-unformed people taking action like this. When you see a civilian wielding a gun you can get confused about who the active shooter is. Well-meaning people may end up shooting each other.
