A Young Gun Owner In Indiana Did What Uvalde Police Wouldn’t
Dicken had no police training and no military background, according to Greenwood Police Chief James Ison, who added that his actions were nothing short of heroic. He engaged the gunman from quite a distance with a handgun, [and] was very tactically sound, and as he moved to close in on the suspect, he was also motioning for people to exit behind him. He did not hold a permit, but legally carried the handgun under Indiana s new constitutional carry law, which went into effect July 1. Local news reported that he steadied himself against a pole before firing 10 rounds at the shooter from a distance of 40 yards, bringing the shooter to the ground.
