Hero armed citizen landed 8 of 10 shots at 40 yards to stop mass shooting in 15 seconds
Eli Dicken, the armed citizen who stopped a mass shooter in an Indiana mall on Sunday, was carrying a pistol under the state’s recently enacted constitutional carry law, which went into effect on July 1. Just 15 seconds after the mass shooter opened fire, Dicken steadied himself on a pole and fired eight to 10 shots, striking the gunman from 40 yards away, police said.
“His actions were nothing short of heroic. He engaged the gunman from quite a distance with a handgun. Was very proficient in that, was tactically sound and as he moved to close in on the suspect, he was also motioning for people to exit behind him,” said Greenwood Police Chief Jim Ison, according to WTHR. “Many people would have died last night if not for a responsible, armed citizen that took action very quickly within the first two minutes of this shooting.”
As police evacuated the mall, Dicken’s girlfriend Shay Goldman contacted her grandmother and told her that Dicken protected her from the mass shooter .....

A street cop made a one shot kill with a pistol and saved lives on a busy big city street at about 100 yds several years ago.
May have been horse mounted and maybe NYC.
I believe that was in San Antonio a few years back, guy using a 357.

Back in the early 90s a Charlotte PD officer took a guy out at about 85 yards on the Mecklenburg County Courthouse steps. Shot the dude with a S&W .357, likely a 686.
Thanks, I had forgotten the details. Although there was another incident somewhere?, a citizen shot a 'shooter' with his pistol, that was a long shot for a handgun.
