Fox News
Firearms groups and experts weigh in on the media coverage of guns in America following an Indianapolis mall shooting that was halted by a "good Samaritan."
Nikolas Lanum is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.
"Many more people would have died last night if not for the responsible armed citizen," Greenwood Police Chief James Ison said during a press conference Monday. Ison added that Dicken's actions were "nothing short of heroic."
But left-leaning pundits and journalists were quick to argue a legal gun owner halting a mass shooting is a rare occurrence and is not a viable solution to mitigate gun violence in America. The media has repeatedly emphasized how dangerous and difficult bystander intervention is.
