Before a 22-year-old armed bystander intervened and shot the assailant dead, the attacker was able to kill three people.

According to the Associated Press, the attacker entered the mall with "a weapon and several magazines of ammo" and started firing.

The 22-year-old who killed the assailant was from Bartholomew County, said to Chief Ison, and "was legally carrying a pistol."

The shooter was alone and had a rifle and several magazines of ammunition, according to the newspaper.

The names of the victims, the shooter, and the bystander were withheld by the police. At the sound of gunfire, shoppers and mall personnel fled or concealed themselves.

The shootings took place amid widespread anxiety over the steady stream of shootings in American schools, offices, and public places that generate headlines.
