Armed Civilian Kills Gunman Greenwood Park Mall (updated 11:17 a.m. Monday)

A gunman armed with a rifle opened fire in a food court at the Greenwood Park Mall on Sunday, killing three people and wounding two, including a 12-year-old girl, and a civilian shot and killed him, police said.

The gunman, whose name wasn't immediately released, entered the Greenwood Park Mall on Sunday evening with a rifle and several magazines of ammunition. He began shooting in the food court, Greenwood Police Department Chief Jim Ison said, according to The Associated Press.

Four people in all died, including the gunman.

A 22-year-old civilian from Bartholomew County was legally carrying a firearm at the mall and shot the gunman, killing him, Ison said at a news conference.

"The real hero of the day is the citizen that was lawfully carrying a firearm in that food court and was able to stop the shooter almost as soon as he began," Ison said.

Officers were called around 6 p.m. Sunday. Four females and one male were shot, police said. The gender and ages of the dead weren't immediately known. The 12-year-old girl and the other injured person were in stable condition, Ison said.

Police confiscated a backpack left in a bathroom near the food court. A news conference with authorities was scheduled for Monday afternoon.

"We are sickened by yet another type of incident like this in our country," Indianapolis Assistant Chief of Police Chris Bailey said.

Greenwood is a suburb south of Indianapolis with a population of about 60,000. Mayor Mark Myers asked for "prayers to the victims and our first responders."

"This tragedy hits at the core of our community," Myers said in a statement.

Greenwood Park Mall said in a statement that it grieves for the victims and praised first responders as well as the "heroic actions" of the civilian who killed the gunman.

"Violence has no place in this or any other community," the mall said.
