Greenwood hero is a freaking stud… Fired 10 rounds, neutralized shooter in 15 seconds…

GREENWOOD, Ind. — Within 15 seconds of a mass shooter opening fire inside the Greenwood Park Mall, Elisjsha Dicken got off 10 rounds, striking the shooter 8 times, and killing him.

Police say Dicken was shopping with his girlfriend Sunday at the mall when he stopped at a cookie counter close to the main walkways of the mall. When the gunman exited the restroom, beginning his shooting spree, police say what he did was nothing short of heroic.

Armed only with a handgun, police say Dicken first engaged the shooter from a distance of 40 yards. Police say he was very proficient and tactically sound.

According to police, Dicken hit the shooter from 40 yards away with his 9mm Glock on the very first shot. Johnson County Coroner Mike Pruitt said an autopsy found the suspect had eight gunshot wounds and none were self-inflicted. He fired 10 shots with an 80 percent strike rate.

Dicken started making his way towards the gunman, motioning for people to leave behind him. The gunman tried to retreat back into the restroom, but Dicken continued on, shooting the suspect until he fell.

“The surveillance video shows Sapirman exit the restroom at 5:56:48 p.m.,” Ison said. “He was neutralized by Dicken 15 seconds later at 5:57:03 p.m.”

Police took him to the Greenwood Police Department while they watched the security video and spoke with other witnesses to confirm what Dicken told them. During the whole process, police say Dicken fully cooperated.

Dicken had no police training or military background.

Police also confirmed Dicken was carrying a gun under the constitutional carry law that went into effect July 1.

there is a leaked photo of the dead perp on Reddit. It’s not too gory if anyone wants to view it

He was wearing mom jeans and a Covid mask

I see it that a gun free zone is a farce unless the property owner wants to install security to enforce it. They don’t because security of this kind is expensive. Signs are always ignored or not even seen.

Anyone who hasn’t already figured out that the Left is full of cockamamie judgmental weirdos must surely be catching on by now. Everything they do is extreme and makes no sense.

Even if the police had shot him there would be no outcry because he is white.

OODA loop. When in a suddenly unfamiliar situation, you...

Amazing how quickly he got to step 4, in a situation with screaming people running in all directions, gunshots, making sure there was nobody behind his target, and a major adrenaline dump. /1

Did he have an accomplice?

The “before” photo shows his watch is on his right hand. It’s not a mirror photo; the “after” photo shows no watch on his left hand. The position of his belt buckle confirms.

So who took the “before” photo?

Advancing on the target that is armed and can shoot him dead.

40 yards? I suppose that if they have this on tape they might be able to verify it. But I really think 40 ft is more likely.

Constitutional carry should be enacted in all fifty states.

There is no cop alive that could have done that. Most of them are terrible shots. That kid must live at the range God bless him.

In this situation, shooter was already at step 4. By returning fire, which shooter didn’t expect, he put the shooter back at step 2. Shooter probably had to pause to re-orient, giving control of the situation to the hero. /FIN

Yes it is. At seven yards I have trouble getting them all in center mass and I shoot a lot. At 40 yds I’d have to worry about each of them having a lawyer attached. Wow, 40 yds while under fire.

I’m going to have to agree because it actually happened in Colorado not long ago. I honestly didn’t see much news at all about it.

Most paid highly trained law enforcement cannot do this.
