A gunman killed
three people when he opened fire in the food court of a shopping mall outside
Indianapolis on Sunday before a bystander fatally shot the assailant, Greenwood
Police Chief Jim Ison said.
Two other people were injured in the incident, which took
place in the early evening at Greenwood Park Mall, the Indianapolis Star
reported.
"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 told reporters. He described the armed
bystander as a 22-year-old man.
The shooter was alone and had a rifle and several magazines
of ammunition, according to the newspaper.
Police did not release the names of the victims, gunman or
bystander. Shoppers and mall employees scattered at the sound of gunfire or
hid.
The shootings occurred amid widespread concerns over the
drumbeat of US shootings in schools, workplaces and public areas that regularly
make headlines.
A spate of gun massacres since May at a New York grocery
store, a Texas elementary school and an Illinois Independence Day parade have
renewed fierce US debate over gun regulations.
The US House Judiciary Committee will take up proposed
legislation this week that would ban certain assault weapons, the panel said on
Friday. It is not expected to pass the Senate.
