The NRA’s theory that “the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun” has been challenged like never before in the investigation report members of the Texas House of Representatives on the May 24 Uvalde shooting, where 19 students and two teachers died at Robb Elementary School. No less than 376 police officers converged on the crime scene, where none of them intervened to neutralize the shooter and rescue the students still alive before 77 long minutes passed.
That said, it should be noted that Elisjsha Dicken, a 22-year-old good guy with a handgun, saved “many lives” on Sunday, according to police, by shooting down a gunman who had just killed three people and injure two others at an Indiana state mall. Aged 20 and armed with two rifles and a handgun, the shooter was in possession of a hundred cartridges.
“His actions were nothing short of heroic,” said Greenwood Police Chief Jim Ison speaking about Dicken. “He took on the shooter from a distance with a handgun, he was very skilled in that area, very tactical. And as he closed in on the suspect, he was also waving people out behind him. »
Dicken has no military or police training, according to investigators.
