In another Democrat narrative-debunking situation, a law-abiding citizen carrying a firearm stopped a shooting in progress at a mall food court in Indiana over the weekend — and is likely to be ignored by most within the mainstream media despite overwhelming praise from leaders in the community.
In a Greenwood, Indiana, mall — roughly 15 miles south of Indianapolis — a man armed with a rifle opened fire on Sunday evening in the food court, fatally shooting three individuals and wounding two others. But then, a "a good Samaritan with a handgun," according to Greenwood police Chief James Ison, put the shooter down.
The bystander, identified as a 22-year-old who was in the food court when the shooting started, "was able to stop this shooter almost as soon as he began." Ison added. "The real hero of the day is the citizen that was lawfully carrying a firearm in that food court," he said at a press conference.

You've been a FReeper for over 17 years and you are finally coming to this conclusion?
You might be too slow to lawfully carry, just go on hoping that someone else has you covered.
When you do think that, it will be too late.
You are even dumber than that zero character, you even have both a gun and the carry license, and you don't, which makes you flat out stupid.
It was less than a day that He was going to be arrested, taken from them, and executed for His religious beliefs that He ordered them:
"And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing?You need to get armed up, learn how to use it, the law of when to use it, and the Biblical principles of why to use it.
And they said, Nothing.
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one" (Luke 22:35-36 AV).
Jesus from the beginning and throughout His ministry called the religionists and lawyers of His culture poisonous snakes and Satan;s children, and that's what they were, effectively defending his followers. But He was about to be gone from their company and no longer to protect each one, so they had to arm themselves; even, I suppose, the women as well.
"Be prepared," is the Boy Scout marching song;
Be prepared, as through life you march along . . . "
I carry in stores in Texas all the time whether they like it or not. I think Whole Foods has one of the signs that prohibits firearms by law, so I don't go there.
Strange in this instance there’s no description of the type of rifle used.
Is it possible that a man with a handgun took out a guy with an A.R. 15?
perp is
Johnathan Douglas Sapirman
hero = Elisjsha Dickin.
Yeah, I read that article. The offended party reporting it was careful not to point out that the wannabe murderer was in violation of mall policy, unwittingly suggesting that it was okay. So I s suppose it’s copacetic to violate the mall gun policy if your intention is murder, but to prevent murder is verboten. Scotty, beam me up.
there has got to be only one person in indiana with that name. Facebook page has been locked

Police say the suspect entered by food court 4:54PM. He was in the bathroom for an hour, came out and shot Gomez. He then fired into the food court killing husband and wife Mr. and Mrs. Pineda. twitter.com/FOX59/status/1…

‘Many more people would’ve died if not for the action of an armed citizen’ says Greenwood Police Chief James Ison.
Within 2 minutes, Elisjsha Dicken shot & killed the gunman who started shooting into the food court, killing at least 3 people with his rifle.

Sig Sauer M400 semi-automatic rifle.
After the Texas church shooting some years ago my church at the time, and many like it, established security protocols including a rotation of armed parishioners who quietly position themselves to confront an active shooter as early as possible.
Since the “mostly peaceful” fiery rioting of 2020, I have been carrying every day, every where.
If it’s concealed, nobody knows.
The only time I take it of is when I have to go to a courthouse or somewhere else that has metal detectors.
Good idea. I used to go to a small church here in town. The preacher told me he felt good knowing there were at least 4 firearms at every service. One of those 4 was me.
Sig Sauer M400m Sure if he does not notice you from a distance,
I was stunned to see that press conference played during a brief stop on MSNBC. But I'll bet they won't be speculating on how many lives were saved by his heroic action.
