In-N-Out Shooter Lost Bravado When He Came Under Fire

From the New York Post: "Hero civilian says In-N-Out shooter’s ‘bravado immediately crumbled’ after he fired back." The relevant part:

    Jordan Salinas, 35, told ABC News that he noticed Chad Williams, 24, aiming his rifle at passing vehicles outside the Twin Falls fast food chain on Saturday when he decided to leap into action.

    “I peeked around the right-hand side of that sign closest to the road, and that’s when I saw the individual with his rifle pointed at the vehicles,” Salinas told the outlet in a sit-down interview alongside his girlfriend, Emily Cohelo.

    Salinas, a healthcare worker and the full-time caregiver for his brother, said Williams appeared calm as he aimed at cars — but his confidence quickly faded when he realized he was also in the line of fire.

    “He seemed unusually comfortable aiming that rifle at those cars,” Salinas said. “As soon as some rounds started coming at him, everything changed immediately. All that bravado he had immediately crumbled.”

    Salinas raised his FN Five-Seven – a semiautomatic pistol equipped with a suppressor – with both hands and squeezed off a round.

    It was the first time he ever aimed his weapon at a living target, he told the Idaho Statesman. 

So not a hunter. This was also interesting: 

He said he had trained for the moment after witnessing the 2021 mass shooting at the Boise Towne Square mall, in which two people were killed, and several more were wounded.
