Without hesitation, Dicken pulled out the Glock pistol carrying him, trying to close the gun, aiming and disabling Sapirman within two minutes from the first gunfire.

I have to say that his actions are very hero.

When Sapirman started shooting, Dicken moved very tactics to approach, although he had never been trained in police or military, but was only taught by his grandfather.

Because the Greenwood Police Department is opening a criminal investigation on the shootings, Dicken is not allowed to speak about what happened.

He is a superhero, Alison Dick, who has a 12 -year -old daughter injured in the shooting, said.

The common people carrying guns to return attacks can cause confusion and serious consequences.

After lowering the gunman, Dicken approached the mall of the shopping area, presenting him as the person who disabled the gunman and waited for the police to come, Ison said.

The police came to bring Dicken to the interrogation station.

He experienced great fluctuations, mayor Greenwood Mark Myers said.

Police said a 22 -year -old young man carrying a gun shot down the attacker of Greenwood Park in Indiana state.

A security guard died when trying to prevent the attacker, during the shootings that killed at least 10 people in New York state.
