Greenwood mall shooting

[Sigblitz]

I hope the final shots were clean. So he can sleep. Not saying it wasn't, just don't lose who you are in the engagement.

Not sure the size of the food court but that 50yrds may be a little inflated. Anyhoo it seems this kid knows how to shoot pretty well and had the confidence needed.

Very familiar with GPM and the food court, least of all things being a security supervisor there while I was in college. 50 yards is easily just the center of the food court seating area. From the entry doors to the furthest restaurant counter (across the hall) is probably 200 yards.

From the chatter I’m hearing, the bad guy was in the restroom in the food court, where he might have changed into security-type clothing and then exited with the rifle (unconfirmed at this time). The restrooms dump out into the main seating area and are approximately 100 yards from the main entry door.

Another SWAG...

If true, 22 year old from Bartholomew County with shooting and tactics like that sounds like military, or something related?


.

Kyle? Jack? Is that you guys?

Greenwood police stated that an armed civilian was the hero of the day.

That's what I thought. He may have closed from a distance and got the job done then.

So it was you that gave my Dad that speeding ticket?

Not doubting your time of service there but, uh, no you can’t fit two football fields inside the food court at the Greenwood Mall…..

I think you may mean feet not yards.

Young really needs to stay quiet and learn something.

I've not been to Greenwood Park Mall but every other Simons Property I've visited had been Gun Free.

My wife worked at Simon for years.

Unless they sold it recently, they definitely own Greenwood Park Mall.

And they definitely have No Gun Signs all over the place.

GWPD stated Simon Property in the interview.

This is the first I've heard of it. My Citizen app hasn't gone off yet. This crap keeps moving farther and farther south.

Just FYI but my citizen app went off about 6:15pm alerting me. I was about 4 miles away at that point.

I concur with this. 50 yards is no where near "too far" and at 5 minutes to closing on a Sunday dozens in the way seems an exaggeration

Well, it’s been a couple of decades…

I might be a little heavy on the distance from the doors to the Orange Julius, but I’m willing to bet it’s 500-600 feet

50 yards is not "too far" with a handgun. My last trip to the range I decided to see what I could do. I put a standard B27 out on the 50 and fired 5 rounds.
It wasnt pretty, but all 5 landed on target. He has no shoulder, spleen, liver or 'nads. Dude died a painful death.

Channel 13 reported "they did some digging tonight and despite Indiana's open carry law that went into effect July 1st you actually cannot carry a gun inside Greenwood Park Mall"




The stupidity runs deep.

And for those inclined, please say a prayer for that brave young man. Taking a life isnt easy, and he is likely having some struggles with what he was forced to do. Putting a rabid animal down is not pleasant. He will likely have some difficult days ahead, even though he is justified and a damned hero.

Is there a school on the property like Circle Center?

 

[csaws]

For the record it's approx.
165 feet from the food court entry doors to CFA
144 feet from the same entry doors to the restrooms
218 feet from between Blondies and the Kay?? Jeweler's area to the restrooms
