I don't understand; all of Opryland, including the mall is a "Gun Free" Zone..
Somewhere, Darwin is crying...

Just remember, the largest mass murder in US history was committed with box cutters...

He is supposedly claiming self defense. I didn't see in any links yet whether he had a CCW license or not, or what his self defense claim is allegedly based on.

Police said there were more than 25 witnesses to the gunfire, but no one else was injured.

Investigators worked into the evening to interview the witnesses and Golson.
The suspect and victim from the Thursday shooting were fighting with one another, he said, and no other shoppers were targeted.

In fact, Aaron said, Golson turned himself in soon after the shooting.

A retired California police officer helped take Golson into custody, Aaron said. The retired officer was in a ticket booth near the mall when dozens of witnesses ran in screaming, "Shooter! Shooter!"

Golson, who was in the crowd, announced he was the shooter but said he acted in self defense, according to the retired officer. Golson put the gun on a counter and the retired officer grabbed it and told him to lay on the grass outside until police arrived, Aaron said.

Golson did as he was told.

Police did not immediately say if Golson would be charged in the shooting.
