Elisjsha Dicken is being praised as a hero for stopping the shooting suspect accused of gunning down three people and wounding two at Greenwood Mall in Indiana.
The gunman, named by the county coroner as Jonathan Sapirman, was shot and killed at the scene by the Good Samaritan, as officials have dubbed Dicken, confirmed Mayor Mark W. Myers, who released a statement shared by police on Facebook.
Dicken’s name was released by authorities on Monday, July 18, 2022. He was carrying the gun lawfully, police said. He is 22 years old.
As of 9:40 p.m., he wrote, the police had confirmed that four people died and two were injured, including a 12-year-old girl who suffered minor injuries. The four deaths include the shooter.
“We are sickened by yet another type of incident like this in our country, in our city,” Chris Bailey, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department assistant chief, said in a news conference on July 17, 2022.
Greenwood Police Chief Jim Ison said in another news conference that the shooter was a male. There was one male victim and four female victims. The victims ranged in age from early 20s to 30. Two people were in stable condition. One of the victims was age 12, but only has a minor wound, a scratch on the back. Asked whether anything happened before the shootings or whether it was purely random, Ison would not say. He said authorities are reviewing a surveillance video.

Shooter had a sig saeur 400 and a glock on him
The Dicken’s, you say!
Total over reaction the cops would have been there in 70-80 minutes tops
I heard that more than one media outlet was calling attention to the fact that Elisjsha Dicken brought a firearm into the mall that had rules against firearms on the premises. One supposedly called for him to be charged.
My take away is, the media cares a lot more about gun control and political points than they do human life
If we didn’t know any better, we might think Shannon Watts was disappointed more people weren’t murdered in Greenwood mall shooting
the interesting thing is that the hero did not have a permit for the gun...which as per new law was not required
shooter was going to shoot up the whole place
Well this certainly is a breath of fresh air!
Good job, young man!
Dude has crazy eyes.
Wait until a shooter walks into a TV station shooting.
This kid prevented a lot of wasted over time as well as saved lives.
Wow. 😮
More courage than 379 cops in Uvalde TX
i think there will be a lot of people who went to school with him that will be shocked he turned into an action hero as if he was in a movie and took down a mass murderer.
I hope they release the video from the event but since there will be no trial they might not.
He’s exactly right!
I’m traveling today, catching Bloomberg here and there. Haven’t heard a peep about this story today.
