Greenwood's Good Samaritan

"People rely on the police to keep them safe. That's the problem. The police only arrive after the crime has taken place. That's like trapping the fox as he's coming out of the hen house. If a man really wants to protect what's his, he has to do it for himself."
--Ben (Death Wish)

Last weekend, a 20 yr old shooter opened fire in a Greenwood, Indiana shopping mall food court, killing three and injuring others. 

Tragic for sure. But it could have been much worse.

Within 15 seconds of the shooter's first shot, an armed civilian drew his carry pistol and put down the shooter. Mall security cam footage verifies the timeline.

Not surprisingly, the mainstream media is under-emphasizing this part of the story.

Regardless, as the local police chief recounts, "Many more people would have died if not for a responsible armed citizen that took action very quickly." 

The major added, "This young man, Greenwood's Good Samaritan, acted within seconds, stopping the shooter and saving countless lives. Our city, our community, and out state is grateful for his heroism in this situation."

It should be noted that Indiana became a constitutional carry state July 1.
