***********

On May 10 a good guy with a gun shot a knife-wielding man who allegedly stabbed four people in a Massachusetts mall.

BNO News reports the incident occurred at the Silver City Galleria in Taunton, Massachusetts around 6:30 p.m.

The suspect allegedly drove his car into the mall–literally drove in–then got out and began stabbing mall goers. They report four people were stabbed before the knife-wielding man “was shot by an off-duty police officer.”

FOX 25 Boston quotes the Massachusetts State Police suggesting the man who intervened may have been “an off-duty sheriff’s deputy.”
