Shea Goldman and Eli Dicken

Elishjah Dicken, 22, pushed his 19-year-old girlfriend Shea Goldman to safety before he engaged the crazed killer, Jonathan Sapirman. Sapirman came out of the bathroom, killed three innocent people, including a married couple, and wounded two others, including a woman and a 12-year-old child.

The killer tried to go back into the bathroom but fell as Mr. Dicken fired from a distance. Mr. Dicken propped himself against a poll and shot ten times with a handgun from 40 yards away. That’s a good shot.

Shea Goldman’s grandmother discusses the event with WHTR news on this link.

Miss Goldman’s grandmother said to pray for Eli. It is hard to take the life of another person.

The murdered innocents are Pedro Pineda, 56, Rosa Mirian Rivera de Pineda, 37, and Victor Gomez, 30.

The gunman, named by the Marion County coroner as Jonathan Sapirman, 20, of Greenwood, was shot and killed only two minutes into the rampage.

Jonathan Sapirman

Sapirman, 20, of Greenwood, Indiana, fired 24 rounds before he was shot and killed at the scene by a Good Samaritan, Eli Dicken.

Sapirman was from a troubled family, court records obtained by Heavy reveal, and his brother sought guardianship of him after his mother lost her job and ended up in a shelter after his parents divorced.

Those court records reveal that he had a juvenile history of assault, including at school.

The mother battled the brother for custody after she started a career as a nurse.

The following are allegedly his posts, posted 20 minutes before he walked to the mall with two rifles and a handgun. He then stayed in the bathroom for one hour and two minutes and came out shooting.

Hopefully the Uvalde PD will hire him to teach their officers the correct method of dealing with crazed killers! Apparently a 22 year old has more guts and expertise than the whole department combined!

It is truly hard for the left to reconcile with the fact that good guy with a gun is more effective than cowering and waiting for police to show up while rampage continues.

If and when the police show up, will they just be spectators (Uvalde)?

The reality is that Liberals cannot argue with the concept of a Bad Guy with a Gun is best Stopped by a Good Guy with a Gun – Near By! When seconds count, the Police are only minutes away. A social worker is not going to stop an active shooter. Liberals simply live in a Media La-La-Land and know none of their gun control ideas hold any water. Even the ban on fully automatic weapons; Cartels have no problems obtaining these weapons.

We need a lot more Jerone Davidson’s running for Congress.

We need heroes who carry (even in churches). Police cannot be immediately everywhere. We have a close cousin in Texas who was so saved.

Uvalde set an incredibly bad precedent, reducing the credibility of police. We also had nationwide riots in which police backed off repeatedly.

Instead of immediately being there, will the police ever be there???
