In Greenwood Park Mall, Indiana, a person with a gun came in with a rifle and started shooting at people. This was the latest mass shooting in the US. Chief of Police in Greenwood, Jim Ison, held a press conference to talk about the tragic event.
Mark W. Myers, the mayor of Greenwood, has also made a statement and asked people to pray for the victims and the people who helped them. He also said, as DW reported, that “tragedy hits at the heart of our community.”
But unlike other mass shootings, the gunman’s plans went awry when he got caught in the crossfire before Greenwood police arrived at the mall.
James Arthur’s family, who were in the mall when the shooting happened, told what they heard and saw. They said that they heard at least 20 shots from a big gun that sounded like it was semi-automatic. James was with his four kids and his wife.
What Happened During the Shooting at the Greenwood Park Mall? Four people were killed, and others were hurt
At the Mall of Indiana, there was another mass shooting. At about 6 p.m. on Sunday, three people, including a man with a gun, are found dead in the Greenwood Park Mall. Chief of Police Jim Ison also said that two more people were hurt in the incident.
Drama started when another man in the mall pulled out a gun and started shooting at the suspect. Ison said that people who were around at the time of the tragedy were working together at the press conference held by the authority.
The man with the gun might be the most important witness for the police because he saw what was going on and then used his gun to stop the damage the suspect was doing. People and the police thought he was the Good Samaritan because he helped so many people.
The person who did it was said to have a long gun, which could have been a rifle, and a lot of ammunition. Based on what he had, it seems clear that he was trying to kill.
As soon as the police heard that someone had been shot, they went to the scene. They got everyone out of the mall and kept looking into what had happened.
Is it known who is shooting at Greenwood Park Mall?
The police may have found the active shooter, but the suspect’s name has not been made public, according to the New York Post.
The man with a gun and several magazines full of bullets went into the mall. He was clear about his goal: he wanted to hurt people. But luckily for the people there, a witness shot and killed the suspect after he started shooting.
But the Greenwood police chief said that the main reason is still unknown at this time. Also, the person who did it is dead, but he or she killed three people. Two other people had also been hurt by his shots. Also, officials haven’t said how they are doing now, but they are already being treated.
Has the shooter been caught?
The witness killed the suspect at the scene of the crime. After the gunman with a rifle and several fully loaded magazines started shooting at the food court of the mall, a Good Samaritan with a handgun looked at the situation and shot the gunman.
The police have not said who any of the people are yet. But the people who live there think that things would have been much worse if that man hadn’t had a handgun and done something.
Many people are worried that the good Samaritan will be arrested. But since he was the only person who saw what happened, he might be with the police giving his statement.
