A pistol-packing bystander turn into a hero during the Idaho In-N-Out mass shooting, blasting away at the suspect as the deadly violence unfolded on video.
The Idaho Stateman reports that Jordan Salinas drove to the In-N-Out restaurant in Twin Falls for lunch with his girlfriend on Saturday afternoon when, all of a sudden, bullets started whizzing through the air.
Police say 24-year-old Chad Williams opened fire at the diners with what appeared to be a large rifle, killing three people and injuring seven others.
Responding officers fired at Williams along with Salinas and an off-duty cop, prompting the suspect to flee the immediate area.

Salinas told the newspaper that Williams "seemed shocked" because he was taking fire from Salinas and the off-duty officer, who was also a customer at the restaurant. Police later found Williams dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Twin Falls County Sheriff Jack Johnson called Salinas and the off-duty cop "true heroes in our community," noting that their actions "diverted the shooter and without a doubt saved many lives.”
