"Greenwood PD said a review of surveillance video shows the suspect began firing at 5:56:48.

At 5:57:03 p.m., Elisjsha Dicken, an armed bystander, fired on the shooter from 40 yards away, according to police.

Within 15 seconds from when the shooting began, Dicken fired 10 rounds hitting the shooter as the shooter tried to retreat into the bathroom but collapsed and died.

An autopsy found the shooter was shot eight times and none were self-inflicted."


In addition, the article mentions how Mr. Dicken has no formal police or military training.

Words cannot express how good I feel about this. I'm happy this is getting air time, although I don't know if the MSM is giving it any attention.

Better performance than the average 10 police officers each firing 10 shots.

Uvalde Police Criticize Indiana Mall Armed Citizen For Not Waiting Around Outside For An Hour

UVALDE, TX — After an armed private citizen bravely stopped a mass shooting at an Indiana mall, the Uvalde Police Department in Texas issued a statement of condemnation, criticizing the citizen for not waiting outside for an hour.

"This is exactly why we can't have armed citizens taking the law into their own hands," said Uvalde CISD Police Chief Pete Arredondo. "We professionals know that the correct procedure is to mill around the hallway and sanitize your hands, or wait outside for an hour until the shooting stops before going in. That's the only way you can ensure nothing bad or dangerous will ever happen to you. Who does this so-called 'good Samaritan' think he is?"

I doubt Biden will give Elisjsha Dicken a "Presidential Medal of Freedom" as he just did to 17 recipients of which Giffords was a recipient.
