The four victims of the shooting spree that took place at the Greenwood Park Mall on Sunday have been identified.
A solitary suspect entered the food court at the Greenwood Park Mall in Greenwood, Indiana, at approximately six o’clock on Sunday evening, according to the Greenwood Police Department, which is located at 1251 North United States Highway 31. After then, the man opened fire inside the shopping center, wounding two other individuals and murdering three others. A customer at the shopping center took out the gunman and killed him with his own gunfire.
The Johnson County Coroner’s Office and the Marion County Coroner’s Office made the tragic announcement on Monday that the incident claimed the lives of four persons.
Both Pedro Pineda, 56, and his wife Rosa Mirian Rivera de Pineda, 37, were found to have passed away. Both were residents of the city of Indianapolis. It has also been determined that Victor Gomez, who was 30 years old and from Indianapolis, was one of the fatalities.
FOX3 has also confirmed that the shooter is Jonathan Douglas Sapirman, who is 20 years old and lives in Greenwood. Reports say that Sapirman went into the mall with a gun and several magazines. He killed three people with his gun before a citizen with a gun killed him.
Elisjsha Dicken was determined to be the Good Samaritan who was responsible for the shooting death of Sapirman by the police.
Authorities say that Sapirman shot Pedro and Rosa while they were sitting and eating. Gomez was shot as he stood outside the bathroom.
Family members told the police that they were shocked by Sapirman’s attack and that he had never showed them any evidence of having aggressive tendencies in the past. When the authorities searched Sapirman’s flat, they discovered a burned laptop in the oven. Sapirman lived alone in the apartment. His cell phone was discovered in the toilet of the bathroom in the shopping center.
Before Dicken shot and murdered Sapirman, the police reported that 24 shots had been fired and five people had been injured.
On Tuesday, autopsies are going to be performed on all four of the deceased persons.
