A man with a rifle opened fire in the food court of an Indianapolis-area mall Sunday, killing three people and injuring two. A bystander who was legally carrying a firearm shot and killed the suspect before he could do more harm.

Four of the victims were female and one was male, Greenwood Police Department Chief Jim Ison said. One of the injured is a 12-year-old girl, who was in stable condition Sunday. Police said they would release more information about the shooting Monday.
