A good Samaritan killed a shooter in a mall in Indiana.
Four people including the shooter are dead after a massacre at a shopping mall in Indianapolis. There are two more injured that are being treated at Hospitals nearby. One of the victims is a 12-year-old girl.
According to Greenwood Chief of Police James Ison, a “good Samaritan with a handgun” shot the shooter who police said was an adult male carrying a rifle and several magazines. The Samaritan is a 22-year-old and is now being hailed as a hero for saving more people.
Officers responded to the call just after 6 PM at the Greenwood Park Mall. Emergency services were on the scene and secured the area. At that time, it was reported that there was no ongoing threat by the time the mall was safe and secure.
“We do know that someone we are calling a ‘Good Samaritan’ was able to shoot the assailant and stop further bloodshed. This person saved lives tonight,” Greenwood, Indiana Mayor Mark Myers released in a statement afterwards. “I am grateful for his quick action and heroism.”
There is no known motive behind the shooting, according to Chief Ison. The victims were four females and one male. It is not known if they were targeted or not.
The NRA tweeted out afterward saying it proved why people should be able to carry firearms.
“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.
One mother that witnessed it was in the food court when it happened and described what happened, “And everybody started getting up and running. I got knocked down and separated from two of my kids. Yeah. It was pretty scary. We were locked in a closet and were barricaded with tables and waited until the police arrived and let us out.”

Do you think this shows that a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun? Is it a case for people to have self-protection? The good Samaritan deserves a medal for his good deed and shows us what true bravery looks like. They ran into the danger and not away from it. Let us know your thoughts below in the comments.

FIRST RESPONDERS?!?!?! The Police WERE NOT the FIRST RESPONDER!! The GOOD Gentleman with the gun WAS the FIRST RESPONDER! This is exactly why America MUST have Constitutional Carry WITH Qualitative Immunity when FORCED to defend themselves or others!!
America is full of "good Samaritan's", but our laws keep most of them from acting. Laddyboy, maybe right that "We The People must have Constitutional Carry with Qualitative Immunity when FORCED to defend themselves or others!! We should not have to watch others die or ourselves for lack of a police officer or even a piece of paper. Everyone needs to look into this "Constitutional Carry with Qualitative Immunity". I thank our Wonderful GOD for this ‘Good Samaritan’!!!
Want to have a lot of good guys/gals with guns? EASY...RETURN to STATE MILITIAS! That way there will be HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS of trained individuals EVERYWHERE carrying defense weapons. Why else do you think those first 13 words say NECESSARY and SECURITY? Because the FF were SMART. They KNEW what the words meant. Where did they go? The first governor who reinstates the STATE militia, will become a LEGEND and many more will follow. The DICK act was for the sole purpose of taking the first 13 words away. Since 1903!
So glad to see a young person with the bravery and weapon available to take down the situation. For a while here in Ohio . . . malls were no carry places . . . most have come to their senses, thankfully, or I would not be a shopper there. But again . . . thank the Lord for this courageous young man.
