Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Police identify victims, gunman and armed bystander in Indiana mall shooting
Another mass shooting occurred in a shopping mall in Indiana, the USA on Sunday evening July 17. Three shoppers were shot and killed around in the mall by a shooter with a legally purchased AR 15-style rifle, who possessed another gun and 100 rounds. But before he shot more people, he was fatally shot by a bystander who carried a legally purchased handgun. It was within two minutes after the gunman started shooting and had already fired 24 rounds from the rifle. The bystander fired 10 shots to fatally wound the gunman. Many more could have died if the gunman hadn’t been gunned down. The police chief praised the 22-year-old bystander’s act as heroic, proficient, and tactically sound.
This is NOT a two-century-ago news article or a western movie but an incident today. No wonder why people in America want to carry guns.
Read the article and learn what America’s gun culture is like.
