Armed Civilian Who Stopped Idaho Gunman Trained After Earlier Mass Shooting

Jordan Salinas, 35, returned fire on the In-N-Out gunman in Twin Falls, Idaho, on August 2, 2026, an act police credit with saving lives. Salinas said he took up serious firearms training after a Boise mall shooting, reasoning that he and his wheelchair-using brother were "soft targets." He described confronting the attacker as "automatic" and "mechanical," citing rehearsed training steps: observe, orient, decide, act.
