Original story:
A guy with a rifle and several mags went into the Greenwood Park Mall in Indiana and started shooting in the food court. He apparently killed 3 and injured 2 people before a "civilian" carrying a gun popped him and stopped him.
From the Associated Press:
Three people were fatally shot and two were injured Sunday evening at an Indiana mall after a man with a rifle opened fire in a food court and an armed civilian shot and killed him, police said.
The man entered the Greenwood Park Mall with a rifle and several magazines of ammunition and began firing in the food court, Greenwood Police Department Chief Jim Ison said.
An armed civilian killed the man, Chief Ison said at a news conference. In total, four people were killed and two were injured, he said.
Those are the details we have so far. Nothing about the shooter, nothing about the person who stopped him.
