More to come per his attorney after investigation and all that stuff is put to rest but still a good teaser on some stuff
An Official Journal Of The NRA | “True Hero” Eli Dicken Cleared of Charges, Praised by Police
No charges will be filed against Elisjsha Dicken, the 22-year-old armed citizen who stopped a mass murderer at an Indiana mall earlier this year.
For those wanting specifics cuz it wasn’t what it was being propagated via YouTube videos like “dickens drill” and what not.
From article…
Dicken had come to the food court with his girlfriend for dinner, and was seated next to a column and trash can. The instant the shots rang out, Dicken pushed his girlfriend to the ground, drew his Glock 19, braced himself on the trash can and opened fire at a distance of 42 yards. At this distance, Dicken fired four times, hitting the murderer twice, with Dicken pausing only when panicked shoppers ran through his line of sight.
The injured murderer, rifle still in hand, retreated towards the bathroom. Dicken closed to within 20 yards and shot the murderer with another four shots. The murderer started to go down, but was still struggling to make it to the bathroom. Concerned for potential further carnage, Dicken closed in to about 25 feet and fired twice more. The murderer slumped over and didn’t move
Also from article…
Did he have any special training? “Zero,” Relford says. “Eli was taught by his grandfather how to shoot when he was just nine or ten. That was really it. After the events of 2020, and when he became eligible, he got a permit to carry. He actually didn’t need it because we passed constitutional carry this year, but he had it, and carried as part of his routine, thank God.”
Officers say it only took seconds for Dicken to stop the murderer.
By all indications, there was nothing special about Dicken. He was just a young car mechanic with a Glock. No specialized training. No formal preparation. No fancy equipment. His magazine was loaded with full metal jacket Blazer brass ammunition, and his pistol sights had actually been mangled in a motorcycle accident, weeks prior, and been filed down to make them functional again.
“Having seen the video and seen the results, I have one theory, and it’s that the hand of God was on Eli,” Relford says

Very odd. Seriously wonder why that is what he was carrying.
Based off news article he was carrying that because he had no training. Just was a regular dude. Maybe didn’t know that jhp are to be carried or are not necessary. I know some “gun guys” like that
No Most are bleached blonde who like young boys!

I just can't imagine anyone with that level of proficiency, formal training or not, walking around with FMJ in his carry weapon.
. Glad it worked out for him, but sounds like it took extra effort.
Good thing he was that proficient naturally using just FMJ's, although would have ended much quicker with JHP's.I just can't imagine anyone with that level of proficiency, formal training or not, walking around with FMJ in his carry weapon.
