INDIANAPOLIS — At least three people were killed and two others were injured in a shooting at an Indianapolis-area shopping mall on Sunday evening, police said.
Multiple people called 911 at around 6:05 p.m. local time to report an active shooter at the Greenwood Park Mall in Greenwood, Indiana, some 14 miles south of Indianapolis. An unidentified gunman had walked into the mall's food court and opened fire, according to Greenwood Police Chief Jim Ison.
"I told my mom instantly to get down," Harding recalled in an interview with ABC News on Sunday night. "The real hero of the day is the citizen that was lawfully carrying a firearm in that food court and was able to stop that shooter almost as soon as he began," Ison told reporters during a press conference on Sunday night.
"This person saved lives tonight," Myers said in a statement late Sunday."On behalf of the City of Greenwood, I am grateful for his quick action and heroism in this situation."
