An Arizona gunman is being credited as a “good Samaritan” by police after he shot an active shooter in the parking lot of an Amazon facility, likely preventing further bloodshed.
Chandler, Arizona police say 29-year-old Jacob Murphy entered the employee parking lot of an Amazon facility Wednesday morning and opened fire after jumping out of his car,” KSAZ-TV reported.
Murphy, police said in a statement, did not work at Amazon but had “jealousy issues” regarding his girlfriend who worked at the facility but was not present at the time.
Police say Murphy intended to locate an unknown worker at the facility he knew only by name. As Murphy attempted to enter the facility, he was stopped by a worker who noted that it was “weird” that Murphy was there. Murphy shot that worker multiple times after an argument ensued.
An armed Amazon worker on the scene saw what was unfolding and police say he drew his gun and fired at Murphy, wounding him.

“He came to the aid of an individual who was shot by a suspect. So in that case, he would say that he is a good Samaritan,” said Sgt. Jason McClimans said at a news conference.
According to a police statement released Friday, Murphy was found dead in the parking lot when they arrived on scene and the investigation concluded that he died from both the gunshot wound from the armed employee and a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Police say the shooting victim Murphy first shot “is still recovering and will survive.”
“As previously reported, the Chandler Police Department is not investigating the third male, who came to the aid of the victim, as a suspect,” the police department said in a statement.
Once the investigation is complete, Chandler police say they will forward the case to the Maricopa County prosecutor’s office for review as part of standard operating procedure in all shooting cases.
