Good Guy With A Gun IDENTIFIED – We Know His Name!
(ConservativeHub.com) – Just before closing on July 17, a man exited the bathroom at the Greenwood Park Mall and began shooting. He claimed the lives of three people and injured an additional two before a good guy with a gun stopped him. Elisjsha Dicken legally carried a firearm and stepped up to stop the criminal from harming anyone else.
The 22-year-old became known as a Good Samaritan and a hero after his actions that evening. The shooter fired 24 rounds from a rifle within the mall’s food court before Dicken, shopping with his girlfriend at the time of the incident, stopped him.
