| US authorities name Indiana mall shooter as Jonathan Sapirman, 20 | |
| 2022-07-19 | |
A 20-year-old man likely assembled a rifle in the bathroom of a suburban Indianapolis shopping mall before shooting five people in the food court, killing three of them before an armed shopper fatally shot him, US authorities said Monday. Jonathan Sapirman of Greenwood apparently was facing eviction before he shot up the Greenwood Park Mall shortly before it closed Sunday evening, the city’s police chief, James Ison, said at a news conference. | |

| #15 Sapirman had a juvenile record, including for a fight at school and an incident where he bravely ran away from home, but he had no criminal record as an adult, the chief said. So if he had a juvenile record and he was only 20 years old and 18 is when he's considered an adult then he wasn't an adult for very long. Might be a good idea to withhold gun privileges until he's 25 or so to see if he can stay out of trouble for a little longer than just two years. |

| #13 I have to show my DL if I go to the range in Daytona. So I'd imagine that sort of record keeping gets snarfed up by ATF. I can't say what ammo reporting is like, but if I pay cash, all they'd have is maybe a surveillance cam image, if that. |

| #12 i would like to no more on the tracking of ammo purchases and tracking range time. Anybody know a range owner who they could ask if they have to report these issues? |

| #6 Political Authorities, having had time to clean up Social media etc... We now have a name. Let's look at the logic of this quickly dispatched nut-job provided us. He owns a $1,500+ weapon and is facing eviction? |

| #4 Bad guy brought a weapon to the "no weapons" area first. The two sorta cancel each other out. |

| #3 No bets, DarthVader: From deeper in the article: Sapirman had a juvenile record, including for a fight at school and an incident where he bravely ran away from home, but he had no criminal record as an adult, the chief said. He said relatives told Sherlocks that Sapirman has been practicing shooting at a gun range, and that records obtained by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives confirmed he had frequented the range and bought ammunition there over the past two years. |

| #1 It didn’t mention its no-weapons policy and its operator, the Simon Property Group, didn’t respond to a request for comment. Cause it doesn't want to lose its pants in pending law suits that it help create the environment that permitted the shooting in the first place while failing to provide adequate protection or deterrent. |
