[Washington Examiner] Four people were killed and two were wounded in a mass shooting at a shopping mall just south of Indianapolis Sunday evening, which ended when an armed good Samaritan took out the gunman.
Law enforcement was called to the Greenwood Park Mall in Greenwood, Indiana, just after 6 p.m. EST to respond to reports of an active shooter. Locals on the scene began tweeting around that time about sounds of gunfire, and told reporters outside that chaos ensued as soon as the suspect began shooting, with panicked shoppers racing in different directions searching for cover.
One of the dead is the suspected shooter, Greenwood Police Department Chief Jim Ison confirmed to reporters at the scene. The suspect, identified only as an adult male, entered the mall with a rifle and several magazines of ammunition and began firing in the food court. He was taken out by an armed civilian who shot the man dead. The suspect's death makes the death toll four, though only three were killed by the suspect.
"The real hero of the day is the citizen that was lawfully carrying a firearm in that food court and was able to stop the shooter almost as soon as he began," Ison said at a briefing late Sunday.
One of the two wounded was a 12-year-old girl with a minor injury. Police said she and the other wounded individual were transported to local hospitals and are both in stable condition.
Four of the victims who were hit by gunfire were female, while one was male. Ison said he did not yet know the specific gender or ages of those who were killed.
Witnesses reported to local journalists that they heard somewhere in vicinity of 20-30 gunshots during the attempted

Probably not, everything I've read from multiple sources says that while the mall can put up a no weapons sign, it has no force of law in Indiana.

Praise for the good samaritan not only from the police, but also the mall management, who are reported to be grateful he was there. I think politically it would be impossible for even a Soros DA to sell prosecution.

[Garowe] al-Shabaab ...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... boom-mobile struck a hotel in Jowhar city, Middle Shabelle regional capital on Sunday morning, killing several people and wounding others.
The blast caused by a truck loaded with explosives targeted Nur Dob hotel in the town which is frequented by HirShabelle state ministers and politicians, according to police.
Those injured include the health and women ministers of Hirshabelle state, according to an official who spoke to Garowe Online over the phone from the city which lies 90 kilometers north of the Somali capital Mogadishu.
Somali PM Hamza Abdi Barre has condemned the attack and sent condolences to HirShabelle state and its people. The attack comes as seven million Somalis affected by the ongoing driught.
Al-Shabaab has grabbed credit for the attack. The al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group was driven out of Mogadishu in 2011 but still manages to carry out deadly boom-mobiles and gun attacks.
A pregnant woman was on Sunday kidnapped by bully boyz at Lema community in the Mando area of Kaduna State.
The community is opposite the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) in the state.
SaharaReporters learnt that seven other persons were kidnapped by the bully boyz who broke into three houses around 1:00 am on Sunday.
A resident of the area, Musa Danladi, said residents of the neighbourhood were terrified during the attack by the terrorists, adding that rattling gunfire could be heard for a long period.
"They came around 1 am and took away eight residents including a pregnant woman that came to visit her sick mother in the community. This is not the first time bandidos would attack our community," Danladi said.
Residents called on the authorities to come to their rescue, but there was no response.
When SaharaReporters contacted the spokesperson for the Kaduna State Police Command, DSP Mohammed Jalige, he said, "I will find out and get back to you".
He, however, had not got back as of the time of filing this report.
[Breitbart] Deported criminals are among those returning to the United Kingdom by crossing the English Channel in small boats, an official report has revealed.
Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Prisons has confirmed that at least one migrant who had previously received a prison term of more than 12 months and was deemed to pose a "medium risk of harm" to others had crossed the Channel, and ended up being held in a facility hosting women and kiddies.
"The safeguarding processes weren’t good enough to make sure [criminals] weren’t filtering out and making sure that people like that won’t be held in the same facility as women, children and families," said HM Chief Inspector of Prisons Charlie Taylor of his annual report for 2021-22 on the state of play in prisons, immigration detention centres, and so on, in comments reported by LBC.
The report itself raised concerns that "[f]amilies, women and kiddies were held for long periods, sometimes days, alongside unrelated men" and that there was "a lack of oversight of who was being transferred to and held at" a particular centre, within some detainees arriving at the centre "with incomplete paperwork, often without a risk assessment".
Proposals to tackle the crisis, such as the stalled plan to disincentivise sea crossings by transferring migrants colonists to Rwanda and other safe countries away from the British Isles, have so far done nothing to stem the flow of boat migrants colonists, with over 440 people on more than a dozen boats reported to have reached England on Monday.
[Breitbart] An Afghan migrant still in Britannia despite being convicted of 23 offences including a sexual assault has received a short sentence for trying to slaughter a teen boy like an animal on the floor of a public bus in Runcorn, England.
Hamid Akhonzada, who arrived in Britannia supposedly aged 16 claiming to be a refugee from Afghanistan’s Western-backed government ten years ago, evidently faced no significant punishments for his many crimes, given he was a free man last March when the attack took place.
Chester Crown Court heard that Akhonzada, who claimed he was "close to God" heard voices, "held [his 17 year-old victim’s] head back and drew a bladed article described as a steak knife across the throat", as one might slaughter an animal, after sitting behind him and his girlfriend, 16, on a public bus.
Despite this shocking testimony, recounted in a Liverpool Echo court report, and CCTV of the attack, prosecutors did not charge him for attempted murder — the victim’s throat was not fully opened, although he required glue and stitches to stem the bleeding and his girlfriend was also injured — but accepted a guilty plea to the relatively minor crimes of Section 18 wounding with intent and having a bladed article in public.
He was also convicted of assaulting an emergency worker, having beaten a prison guard so brutally that he was left unconscious for minutes some time after being taken into custody.
For this, the career violent mostly peaceful criminal and sex offender was handed a mere four years plus four years on an extended licence after his release by Judge Michael Leeming, despite a lot of tough talk about how his "record for violence and sexual assault [was] a statutory aggravating factor".
It should be noted that prisoners sentenced to non-"life" sentences in Britannia almost never serve their full term behind bars, being entitled to automatic early release on licence halfway or, more rarely, two-thirds of the way through their sentences.
[HAITIANTIMES] At least 50 people are dead and another 100 were left injured in a confrontation between two gangs, G9 and GPep, that began last weekend in Cité Soleil.
"On both sides, bodies of opponents are burned, these figures are underestimated," said Joel Janeus, acting executive officer of Cité Soleil.
As the gang wars continue unabated in the area, police have still not taken control. As a result, scores of people were fleeing the area or otherwise left to fend for themselves.
A Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) ASI was killed after a joint party of security forces was fired upon by bandidosforces of Evil at Gangoo crossing in south Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir".

Five members of the Kurdistan Workers Party were killed in an attack west of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , the Counter-Terrorism Group in Kurdistan (CTK) announced on Sunday.
Earlier today, a security source reported to Shafaq News agency that five people were killed in a drone attack in Nineveh today, Sunday.
The source added that the drone targeted a vehicle carrying four men and a woman, killing them on the spot.
A drone targeting a vehicle in western djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... on Sunday left at least five dead and two others injured, an official told Rudaw with the Kurdish counter terrorism department confirming the attack shortly after.
Nineveh MP Sherwan Dubardani told Rudaw’s Nahro Mohammed that the incident occurred in Mosul’s Haj Dijlah village, killing five people and injuring two others, without identifying the drone.
Shortly after Dubardani's statement, the Kurdistan Region's Counter Terrorism Directorate claimed that the drone was Ottoman Turkish and it hit a "PKK [Kurdistan Workers’ Party] vehicle ... killing five PKK fighters."
However, a lie repeated often enough remains a lie... media outlets affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) alleged that the attack was conducted by The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... , hitting a civilian’s car.
Voicing his condemnation of the attack, Nineveh’s Governor Najim al-Jubouri later in the day said the drone that hit the area was Ottoman Turkish and called on the Iraqi government to protest such actions to the Ottoman Turkish government.
News outlets of Iraq’s Iran-backed parties also said that the attack was conducted by Turkey. Ankara has not commented on the incident as of yet.
