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.
