At least three people are dead after a gunman began firing inside the Greenwood Park Mall in Indiana Sunday evening, police said.
Greenwood Police Chief Jim Ison said during a press conference the gunman was also dead and another two victims were injured and being treated. Their conditions were not known.
The shooter was stopped after a Good Samaritan armed with a handgun fired at the suspect, Ison said. That person is cooperating fully, Ison said.
“We believe at this time, investigators are still questioning the individual involved, but it appears that a Good Samaritan who was armed observed the shooting in progress and shot the shooter,” Ison said.
Everyone has been evacuated from the mall following the shooting that began around 6 p.m., Ison said.
“As you can imagine this type of situation is horrible,” Ison said. “It’s rocked us to our core.”
The gunman was a male who had a long rifle with several magazines of ammunition and began firing at the food court, Ison said during the press conference streamed by WTHR. His identity has not been revealed.

I have a FB frenemy that opposes both “assault rifles” and concealed carry. I wonder how he’ll react to this.
“… wonder how he’ll react to this.”

He might never hear of it. I listened to the 11:00 pm local (Baltimore area) news for two the mainstream networks. One didn’t mention it and the other gave it about 3 seconds of coverage.
This is why I moved from the city to rural America.
Oh, he’s gonna hear about it.
**Both the USCCA and NRA's Carry Guard offer 1 million dollars for civil claims. USCCA offers $125,000 for criminal proceedings up front. And upon further investigation, the NRA offers $150,000 for criminal with 20% up front. This boosts the NRA's amount to 1.15 million dollars. May 1, 2017**
*An armed society is a polite society.*
Crime should be a risk to criminals.

Oops, the Deep Staters didn’t figure in a good guy with a gun. They may have to do that from now on, at least in places that AREN’T New York City. D.C. etc, as more sane people are arming themselves against the evil that is being intentionally expanded throughout the nation and the world.
Kind of convenient that we are seeing all these mass shootings all of the sudden. Good guy interrupted the show on this one though.
GGWAG strikes again.
Oh, noes... /s
Complete over reaction the cops would have been there in 70 maybe 80 minutes top
Dittos. Fled when I retired, won't ever go back.
Indiana is not New York or California. We have frivolous law suit protection and allow people to countersue. IC § 34-52-1-1. The insurance will initially cover the lawyer until they get the fees back. Additionally, this is JOHNSON, not MARION county. No prosecutor outside of Indy or Bloomington would charge this guy. No civil suit with a Jury in a donut county would succeed.
“*An armed society is a polite society.*”
This used to be true.
Leftists are at total war with God, people who believe in God, and all true moral boundaries.
The humanist Bolshevik, Nazi, Maoist, and myriad others were leftist. They wiped the earth of 170 + million dead, mostly in a space of 75 years. In addition, estimates differ, but the humanist/leftist proprietors of the immorality which championed/s the gruesome death of 1.4 Billion little people, and the *for profit* sale of their little body parts, and for baby body parts experimentation in transhumanism, and which now says mother Gaia’s population needs to be cut down to 200-500 million people, would arguably be more dangerous if armed.
Pretty much, every mass shooting, and armed criminal activity is conducted by people who are not at all following God, and are themselves the result of the same state sponsored secular humanistic education which demands total war on God, people who believe in God, and those who espouse biblical morality.
On the one hand, 2-A is critical to the existence of 1-A. On the other, we have already largely lost 1-A even with our guns, and overt or covert lefties with no moral boundaries with guns will continue to inflict an increasing death by all means, including guns.
It can’t be done, but it if there was a way to keep the mentally out of control left from arming up, without infringing even one iota of 2-A, it might be nice.
But as implied, it’s not possible.
Conversion ot elimination of the left are the only options.
Crazy questions I know but nowadays you can’t assume anything.
There was another shooting several miles away at a vigil. Two woman got into an argument..guy starts shooting..another one pops him. Several people dead.
Dude, it wasn't just you.
You can bet that future actions like this that are in fact Deep State operations will include a covert support person whose task is to take out the Good Samaritan. After a few GSs get killed trying to take out an active shooter, the rest of us will be less inclined pull out our weapons.
