The marksmanship of the armed civilian hero who “neutralized” the gunman at an Indiana mall shooting is being called “extraordinary,” as donations are being collected to support him and to assist families of the three slain bystanders.

On GoFundMe.com, Indiana State Rep. Jim Lucas (R-Seymour) launched “Eli’s Show Of Support Fund” by contributing $500 for Elisjsha Dicken, 22, also of Seymour.
