Armed bystander with formal training helps halt Idaho In-N-Out shooter
TL;DR
A 35-year-old healthcare worker, Jordan Salinas, who trained in firearms after a Boise mall shooting, fired back at the gunman at Twin Falls’ In-N-Out, with police saying his actions, alongside an off‑duty officer, diverted the attacker and likely saved lives. The shooter killed three and wounded seven before dying by a self‑inflicted gunshot. Salinas described his response as automatic, following a four-step ‘observe, orient, decide, act’ process.
