After being called a “good Samaritan,” details of the bystander who stopped the gunman at a mall in Indiana are being revealed.
The shooter, using an AR-15-style rifle, killed three people and two others were injured at Greenwood Park Mall in Greenwood, Indiana, on Sunday.
While shopping with his girlfriend, bystander Elisjsha Dicken, 22, was legally carrying a Glock handgun, according to CNN.
Per CNN affiliate WTHR, Dicken told his girlfriend to “get down and stay down.” The bystander, Dicken “steadied himself against a pole and fired ten rounds at the gunman from about 40 yards away,” as the outlet wrote.
Greenwood Police Chief James Ison said of Dicken earlier in the week, “His actions were nothing short of heroic. He engaged the gunman from quite a distance with a handgun. Was very proficient in that, was tactically sound and as he moved to close in on the suspect, he was also motioning for people to exit behind him.”
Ison told WRTV, “I am 100% certain that many more people would have died last night if it wasn’t for his heroism.”
