Greenwood Mayor Mark W. Myers told reporters that the city had experienced a mass shooting.

Police revealed the shooter was armed with several magazines when he bombarded the food court.

The gunman was taken down by a man, 22, who has since been described as a Good Samaritan by police.

Greenwood Police Chief James Ison said: “The real hero of the day is the citizen that was lawfully carrying a firearm in the food court, and was able to stop the shooter almost as soon as he began.”

Ison said the shooting had “rocked” the city to its core.
