Bosnian muslim shooter?
That figures.

It's still not completely clear as to what happened...
Did the shooter kill himself, or was he shot by the good guy who intervened?

I think he was shot, then he killed himself.  Good news for the hero who shot him!

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

JUST IN: Heroic Armed Citizen Speaks Out After Fighting Back Against Idaho In-N-Out Gunman, Says He Trained for Years for This Moment
by Jordan Conradson Aug. 3, 2026 10:15 am
 

Jordan Salinas
It has now been confirmed that Jordan Salinas of Kimberly, Idaho, is the heroic armed bystander who returned fire and saved lives during Saturday’s shooting at an In-N-Out restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, three were confirmed dead on Saturday evening after a shooting at an In-N-Out restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho. At least five victims were wounded in the attack.

Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks confirmed during a press conference on Saturday that a citizen returned fire at the gunman, 24-year-old Chad Williams, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

“We can confirm that there was an off-duty State Trooper and a citizen who actively engaged the suspect by returning gunfire towards him,” he said. “We want to take a moment to commend the actions of the off-duty officer and the citizen, and their heroic action to stop this incident. We believe their actions helped drive the suspect away from the scene, preventing further casualties.”

I heard the perp actually had 20 bullet holes and police are calling it the worst case of suicide they ever saw. :whistle:

Yeah, I think us working through the details as this emerged leaves a little factual error overall. We don't know much about "Chad Williams" other than he once went to a local university and dropped out. The "hero" was actually one of two that returned fire... One police officer was armed but did not return fire (and was shot when he approached the shooter)... The one person that was on video returning fire with a 5.7 suppressed pistol has not had the police confirm if he hit the perp (that shot himself/suicide).

Probable in the long run we will learn very little more until we have forgotten about this tragic incident.

I agree with everything you just said. Ironically, The less we are told about the shooter , the more we are told about the shooter.
When the symbol of anti-government resistance is your national flag then your government is the enemy of your nation.

Ain't that weird, though? That you forget? I mean, every actual tragedy that I have borne witness to is indelibly etched into my mind. I can recall tiny details from say, a dog I saw run over 20 years ago... Yet Charlie Kirk - A guy I listened to for endless hours - He gets brutally murdered in front of God and everybody, and I bear witness to it (second hand)...

Let it grow two weeks of hair, and it wanders out of my mind, and means nearly nothing. :shrug: WTF is that? 🤔

In-N-Out gunman Chad Williams railed against crime in chilling posts before Idaho mass shooting
By Georgia Worrell and Paige Kahn   
Published Aug. 3, 2026, 5:22 p.m. ET
New York Post

The In-N-Out gunman who killed two people and wounded seven others during a rifle-wielding mass shooting in Idaho was a college dropout who previously railed against crime in chilling X posts, The Post can exclusively reveal.

Years before Chad Williams, 24, showed up at the new Twin Falls fast food joint, he expressed horror at the randomness of an armed carjacking in his hometown of Waddell, Arizona.

“Last month a man pointed an AK-47 at the door of a house only streets away from my childhood home,” he wrote in the Nov. 14, 2024 post.  ...

He mostly commented on news of the day, and often wrote about crime and immigration — supporting tougher enforcement.  ...

Williams also posted about protecting the First and Second Amendments.

“Thank you to [Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna] for cosponsoring HR 9534, the National Constitutional Carry Act. No one should have to beg the government to exercise a constitutionally protected right anywhere in the country,” read another post he re-shared. ...

Police have not yet released a motive, but said Williams’ family has been fully cooperative in their investigation.

“Their hearts are also broken at this time,” Hicks said of the Williams family.

The gunman’s mother apparently shares her late son’s conservative politics, according to her Facebook page – which features videos praising US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and ripping former president Joe Biden. ...

This guy sounds like he was totally off-the-wall and off-the-rails.

Did he leave a manifesto?
Otherwise, I sense we're not really going to find out too much more about him.

Even the details of what happened at the In-and-Out and the sequence of events, still seems... cloudy.
