Police have yet to identify the victims and both shooters. Such signs are simply stating a business owner's policy. A 22-year-old Bartholomew County man is being praised as a hero and a good Samaritan for using a gun he brought inside the Greenwood Park Mall, in spite of a policy prohibiting weapons at the site, to kill a mass shooter who opened fire on shoppers at the mall's food court on Sunday.

After 10 or 15 minutes, police cleared them from the hallway and escorted them out of the mall, he said. James Arthur was in the mall with his wife and four children when he said he heard what sounded like 20 rounds go off. He said they thought it was a joke until people started running. The youngest victim was a 12-year-old girl who suffered a minor wound. The other victims ranged in age from early 20s to 30, he said.

Jonathan Sapirman, 20, of Greenwood, Ind., killed three people at the Greenwood Park Mall on Sunday before an armed bystander fatally shot him, police say.

“A main challenge we face when trying to resolve or respond to this problem of gun violence is that we spend so much time apart from one another and we speak about it through social media and screen,” he said. Pastor Ryan Bailey said the community is still in “shock” after the mall shooting. They are not a prohibited person, they should be able to defend themselves in public, at home, where they choose.” After Dicken shot Sapirman, SWAT teams swept the mall and cleared a backpack that Ison initially described as “suspicious” in a restroom near the food court. Private businesses can still restrict the carrying of firearms in the state. He spent more than an hour in a bathroom before exiting with a Sig Sauer 400M .556 rifle. The Sunday shooting was another example of a summer day at an iconic American institution, the suburban mall, shattered by gun violence. He identified the bystander as Elisjsha Dicken, 22, of Seymour, Ind., who Ison said was at the mall shopping with his girlfriend. Advocates for expanding gun access frequently justify their positions by citing the situation of an armed civilian stopping a shooter, which in practice is a relatively rare occurrence, the New York Times reports. Sapirman and one other person died at the scene. Anyone can also carry a rifle or shotgun without a permit. Pedro Pineda’s son Maycol confirmed that the couple had died.

Greenwood Police Chief Jim Ison on Monday released new details about the moments leading up to the shooting that claimed the lives of a husband and wife and a 30-year-old man. Ison said he wouldn’t speculate on the gunman's intentions regarding the oven, but noted police retrieved the laptop, which has heat damage, and is being sent to Quantico, Virginia for the FBI to analyze. In his backpack were a Sig Sauer Model 400m rifle — the only gun he used in the shooting — and an M&P 15 5.56 rifle. Almost immediately after leaving the bathroom, he shot Gomez. He then pointed the rifle into the food court where the Penidas were eating dinner and shot them. The bystander, Elisjsha Dicken, is being praised as a hero. On his person was a Glock 33 pistol. Surveillance video showed the gunman walked into the mall at 4:54 p.m. through the building’s entrance near the food court, Ison said. Also in his possession — more than 100 rounds of ammunition and a pistol. Inside the backpack he carried were two rifles.
