    Police laud actions of man who killed Indiana mall attacker.
    Associated Press (Center) • Factual Grade 73% • 4 min read

    A 20-year-old man likely assembled a rifle in the bathroom of a suburban Indianapolis shopping mall before shooting five people in the food court, killing three. He apparently was facing eviction. “Right now we have no motive. [His family members] said there were no indicators that he was violent or unstable,” police chief James Ison said.
    ...
    [The suspect] continued shooting people until he was shot and killed by 22-year-old Elisjsha Dicken, who was shopping with his girlfriend. “Many more people would have died last night if not for a responsible armed citizen,” said Ison. “[...] He engaged the gunman from quite a distance with a handgun and was very proficient in that, very tactically sound."
    ...
    Although authorities said Dicken was legally armed, the mall prohibits people from carrying weapons. The mall issued a statement saying it grieves for the victims and praising Dicken. As of July 1, Indiana law allows anyone 18 or older to carry a handgun in public except for those prohibited for [certain reasons, like having a felony conviction].
