GREENWOOD, Ind. (AP) — Law enforcement authorities say a 20-year-old gunman who fatally shot three people at an Indianapolis-area mall over the summer told his ex-girlfriend he didn’t expect to make it to 21. Greenwood, Indiana, Police Chief James Ison said at a Wednesday news conference that Jonathan Douglas Sapirman also told the girlfriend that if he killed himself he would “take others” with him. Sapirman opened fire in the food court of Greenwood Park Mall around the mall’s closing time on July 17. In addition to the three fatalities, two people were wounded. An armed shopper shot and killed Sapirman shortly afterward.
