Three people were killed by a gunman at a Greenwood, Indiana shopping mall less than three weeks after the state started permitless concealed carry in public areas, the New York Times reports.
The gunman was killed by a bystander with a gun who was on the scene of the shooting. Police called in the bomb squad to handle the shooter’s backpack, which was found in a bathroom in the mall, in case it had any suspicious material.
“We experienced a mass shooting this evening at the Greenwood Park Mall,” Mayor Mark Myers said. “The Greenwood Police Department is in control of the scene. I am in direct contact with the command post, and there is no further threat.”
