After a man with a rifle opened fire in a food court at an Indiana mall Sunday night, an armed bystander shot the assailant, killing four people, including the gunman, authorities said.
According to Greenwood Police Department Chief Jim Ison, the man entered the Greenwood Park Mall brandishing a weapon and numerous magazines of ammo before opening fire in the food court.
Ison claimed during a news conference that the man was slain by an armed citizen. According to him, two individuals were hurt and four people died overall.
Around 6 o’clock in the evening, police responded to reports of a shooting at the mall. Authorities are looking through the shopping centre for any further victims, although they think the gunfire just affected the food court.
According to Ison, police have taken possession of a suspicious backpack that was in a restroom next to the food court.

More information would be released, according to authorities, Sunday night.
