A mass shooter at a mall in Greenwood, Indiana was shot dead on Sunday by an armed civilian after firing into a crowded food court, killing three and wounding two.
According to Greenwood Police Chief Jim Ison, the man entered the mall with a rifle and several magazines and began firing into the crowd at the mall’s food court. Police first responded to shooting at about 6 p.m. The shooter was killed by an as of yet unidentified good guy with a gun.
The shooting follows in the wake of a series of mass killings that have reignited the contentious gun debate in the United States, including massacres at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, and an Independence Day parade in Highland Park, Illinois.
