In Greenwood, Indiana, residents who visit the Greenwood Park Mall are not allowed to carry guns. This policy makes the mall an easy target for deranged psychopaths who wish to cause harm to others as they know their victims won’t be able to defend themselves. This is likely why a deranged psychopath chose the mall on Sunday and began murdering innocent people.
Three people were fatally shot and two were injured when a mass shooter opened fire inside the Greenwood Park Mall and while this is certainly tragic — it could’ve been far worse.
As FOX 59 reports, last updated in April 2020, Simon Property Group states in its code of conduct that no weapons are allowed at their shopping centers. The group is the owner of the Greenwood Park Mall.
Fortunately for the folks inside the mall, a 22-year-old man from Bartholomew County decided not to obey the order to disarm himself before entering the mall. When the mass murdering psychopath began killing people inside, this 22-year-old hero pulled out his handgun and stopped the threat.
The Good Samaritan, as police called him, was a licensed concealed carry permit holder. Despite the man disobeying the order, the police chief and the mayor are offering up their praises as his heroism and defiance likely saved countless innocent lives.
“The real hero of the day was the citizen that was lawfully carrying a firearm in the food court and was able to stop the shooter almost as soon as he began,” Greenwood Police Chief James Iso said.
“Someone we are calling the ‘Good Samaritan’ was able to shoot the assailant and stop further bloodshed. This person saved lives tonight. On behalf of the City of Greenwood, I am grateful for his quick action and heroism in this situation,” Greenwood Mayor Mark Myers said.
This mass shooting is just one of many mass shootings that have rocked the country in recent months and had this good Samaritan not been there, it could have been one of the worst.
“We are sickened by yet another type of incident like this in our country,” Indianapolis Assistant Chief of Police Chris Bailey said of the shooting.

Luckily for this hero, police didn’t arrive on the scene until after the threat was eliminated. Had they been there at the same time, the hero could have been shot and killed. Such was the case with Johnny Hurley who stopped a mass shooting in its tracks only to be gunned down by a responding officer — who stalked him for 11 seconds before shooting him in the back.
According to the FBI, good guys with guns—who are not police officers—have stopped multiple mass killings, and they do so routinely. According to the FBI report, citizens successfully intervened in 6 active shooter events in 2020 and 2021.
In one incident, according to the FBI, seven employees exchanged multiple volleys of gunfire with the shooter, four of them during the final encounter resulting in the death of the shooter. This incident unfolded at Jefferson Gun Outlet, Metairie, LA.
In another, a teacher disarmed and detained a student who began a mass shooting at Rigby Middle School in Idaho.
Its quite plain that Code of Concuct is totaly useless since the maniac did,nt abide by this idiotic rule and stupid signs reading No Weapons Allowed only encourage maniacs to shoot the place up
Newsweek‘s spin is that our Good Samaritan was breaking the mall’s property rules.

Good thing the LAW outweighs an illegal property rule.
For one reason or another police have named this Good Samaritan.
They will have to give him a lifetime ban from the property.
Good Samaritan? Have the gone to Sunday school? That tag makes zero sense.
Seems they are hiding the identity of the rifle guy until after they scrub his social media. They are learning that the digital army will embarrass them badly.
Just like Kyle Rittenhouse a example for the 2nd Amendment and why it was written those who clain it only means Muskets are not reading past Well Regulated Malitia
The left has created the culture where people can come to the conclusion that other lives don’t matter, that someone that might think differently from themselves deserves to die. Or, that they deserve lots of attention and a valid way to get the attention they aren’t getting is through mass murder. At the same time, the left vilifies police, personal responsibility, respect for others and constantly preaches how weapons are so terrifying. It’s all tonic for the unfulfilled leftist.
After the disaster they’ve created, they think the answer is to disarm the innocent and law abiding.

So it seems suicide by cop was the plan, a coward.
On a side note the hero was taught to shoot by hs grandpa, way to go gramps, a 40 yard shot of a moving target with a pistol!
Update: Eli Dicken stopped the mall shooter in 15 seconds flat, landing 8 out of 10 shots from his 9mm (Glock) at 40 freaking yards!

As has been stated ad nauseum, if the leftists were successful in repealing the second amendment, there would still be guns. The guns would be in the hands of criminals and dirtbags like this. Stories such as this blow the abandonment of all guns narrative by the left out of the water.
Maybe the media will make this guy the face of gun owners, like they do with the odd, random, rare insane killer being the character of anyone that wants to own a gun.
Yes, the left will continue to glorify and idolize mass shooters because they assist in their false narrative that it is the guns that kill people.
Don’t talk about the mental state of these scumbags, it too gets in the way of their narrative.
