Bryan Whittle doesn't think of himself as a hero for stopping the gunman outside Louie's Grill & Bar at Lake Hefner last Thursday. Whittle and another armed civilian confronted and fired on the gunman Thursday evening minutes after he shot a woman and two girls from outside the popular restaurant, police said. The gunman was killed after he raised his weapon and fired again, police and eyewitnesses said. "I just reacted," Whittle, 39, said. "I just did it. I wasn't thinking about anything other than I had to stop this guy and I'm not going to die here."

Witnesses said 26-year-old Juan Ahorrio went up behind one of two female customers in the store and put his arm around her neck while holding the knife. The clerk pulled out his gun, and the customer fell to the ground. With the customer safely out of the way, the clerk shot the suspect three times. Ahorrio dropped the knife and ran, police say. The clerk chased him and ordered him to the ground before running back to check on customers. The clerk and the customers escaped injury. Police confiscated the clerk’s weapon and license to carry while the investigation is completed. Ahorrio was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault with a dangerous weapon, and armed assault with the intent to rob. He was booked at the hospital and will be arraigned when released.

Police say a child fired a shot from a loaded handgun after finding it in a sofa at an IKEA store in suburban Indianapolis. Fishers police say no one was injured from the gunshot about 2 p.m. Monday at the furniture store along Interstate 69 just northeast of Indianapolis, Indiana. Fishers Police Sgt. Tom Weger says the handgun’s owner wasn’t aware the weapon dropped from his pants when he sat on the sofa. The child later found the gun in the sofa cushions. The child’s age wasn’t released. Weger says no arrests were immediately made and that the Hamilton County prosecutor’s office would decide whether to file any criminal charges. Ikea said in a statement it has a no-weapons policy for its stores and that it was cooperating with police.
