Dicken fired 10 shots from his Glock handgun.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cHis actions were nothing short of heroic,\u201d voiced Greenwood Police Chief Jason Ison. \u201cHe engaged the gunman from quite a distance with a handgun. He was very proficient in that, very tactically sound and as he moved to close in on the suspect he was also motioning for people to exit behind him. Many more people would have died last night if not for a responsible armed citizen that took action very quickly within the first two minutes of the shooting.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>First responders assisted the injured and law enforcement worked to secure the scene.
