Armed 'hero' stopped mass shooter at Indiana mall
Many more people would have died during a mass shooting in the US state of Indiana on Sunday Night if not for the " heroic" actions of a bystander who stopped The Gunman , police have said.
The heavily armed suspect killed three people and injured two others at a Shopping Centre near Indianapolis.
Elisjsha Dicken, 22, who was at The Mall with his girlfriend, drew his Pistol and fatally shot The Gunman .
The Incident has reignited America's debate about gun ownership.
In the latest attack, a suspect opened fire with a rifle in a food court at the Greenwood Park Mall in The City of Greenwood.
The Gunman had two rifles, a handgun and More Than 100 rounds of bullets, said police.
He fired 24 rounds from one of The Rifles before he was killed about two minutes into The Assault .
Greenwood Police Chief Jim Ison said on Monday that Mr Dicken had engaged The Gunman almost from the outset of The Attack .
The Police chief said that Mr Dicken had shown " proficient" and " sound" tactics in firing at " The Gunman with a handgun from quite a distance" despite having had no law enforcement or military training.
Mr Dicken also gestured for other shoppers to flee behind him " as he engaged and closed in on the suspect" said The Police chief. He fired 10 rounds.
Mr Dicken - who was lawfully carrying a concealed Pistol - was at first handcuffed and questioned by police, before his version of events was confirmed by CCTV footage.
" Many more people would've died Last Night if not for a responsible armed citizen that took action very quickly within The First two minutes of The Shooting , " Mr Ison said.
" I will say his actions were nothing short of heroic, " The Police chief added.
The attacker was identified as a 20-year-old local resident who had recently been evicted and lost his job at a warehouse.
Two of the three people killed were a husband and wife, and the third was a 30-year-old man. A 22-year-old woman and a 12-year-old girl were injured.
Gun rights advocates held up the case as an example of why gun ownership by law-abiding citizens is important.
In a tweet on Monday Morning , The National Rifle Association, a gun lobby, said: " We will say it again: The only way to stop a Bad Guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. "
But such outcomes are unusual. Only two out of 61 such attacks Last Year ended when armed bystanders engaged the active shooter, according to an FBI report in May.
A series of recent mass shootings - including at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York , at a primary school in Uvalde, Texas, and at a parade in Highland, Illinois - have recharged America's debate over gun laws.
