Four people were killed in a shooting Sunday evening at a mall in Greenwood, Indiana, and two other people were taken to the hospital with injuries, local police say.
The shooter is among the four dead. “It appears that a good Samaritan that was armed observed the shooting in progress and shot the shooter,” Jim Ison, chief of police for the Greenwood police department, said during a press briefing.
He noted this individual, who has been identified as a 22-year-old male from Bartholomew County, was believed to have used a handgun.
The Johnson County 911 Centre took multiple calls reporting an active shooter in the Greenwood Park Mall around 6:05 p.m. “This type of situation is horrible,” said Ison. “It’s rocked us to our core.” The investigation is still in the early stages and the shooter has not been identified.
