Seems a good man with a gun DOES stop a bad one with a gun
And inconvenient truism that the folks here on HC hate to hear and hence rebut with spurious, baseless rhetoric.
Indiana police say 'Good Samaritan' took out mall shooter in 15 seconds, landed 8 of 10 shotsDicken struck the gunman eight times, resulting in his death
Police say it took Elisjsha Dicken just 15 seconds to neutralize a man who opened fire on shoppers at an Indiana mall — quick action they believe saved countless lives.
"The time lapse between the moment that Jonathan Sapirman exited the restroom and began shooting, and when he was shot by the civilian was only fifteen seconds, not two minutes," Greenwood Police Chief James Ison said Tuesday in a statement. "The surveillance video shows Sapirman exit the restroom at 5:56:48pm. He was neutralized by Dicken at 5:57:03 pm."
The statement corrects a previous police timeline in which authorities said the incident lasted two minutes. Police also revealed that a preliminary autopsy report on the gunman showed that he was struck eight times and died of his wounds, meaning Dicken only missed the shooter twice despite engaging the threat from a distance.
