Yesterday, we were one of the first outlets to bring you the report that it looks like a good guy with a gun sending bullets back the other direction may have saved countless lives in Idaho.

That report was here in case you missed it:

We’ve actually come to learn it was not just one guy but actually two heroes who sprung into action.

In that report, we stated that all evidence suggested that one of the guys was a local named Jordan Salinas, but we didn’t have final confirmation of that fact at the time.

Today we do.

Salinas has now gone public on his Facebook page confirming it was him and leaving these thoughtful comments:

Of course he is being swarmed with praise and thanks.

Well done, Jordan, you truly are a hero!

Thank God this happened in a red state where good guys with guns were immediately on the scene to end this quickly!

And in case you missed our original report and the original footage:

GOOD GUY WITH A GUN: Meet The Hero The Internet Is Saying Stopped The Idaho Falls Shooter

By now, you’ve no doubt seen the news about the horrible shooting at an In-N-Out Burger restaurant in Idaho Falls.

If not, details here:

But what you might not have heard about is the Good Guy With A Gun HERO who may have saved the day.

And that’s because the MSM will never allow the “good guy with a gun” narrative to be published, as this guy accurately points out:

So it’s a good thing you have WLT Report!

I will say upfront that I do not have independent confirmation on this, but the Internet is convinced that a man named Jordan Salinas was on site when the shooting happened and stepped in to send some bullets back the other way.

Here he is in a prior unrelated video practicing and training:

And while I don’t have independent confirmation this is Salinas in this video, this video is real from the shooting yesterday and it does show a good guy seemingly firing back and it does look like the frame and even shooting style perfectly matches Salinas:

I can also confirm that this post from his Facebook page from two years ago is real:

What a hero!

Total badass, we could use a lot more Jordan Salinas’ in the world.

And I can also confirm this associated YouTube video is real:

Same guy?

Looks like it to me:

Grok reports the man appears to be Salinas and that multiple reports say he was not hit and not hurt:

Reports indicate Jordan Salinas was not hit and is unharmed.

The video in that @EricLDaugh post is mainly a short montage of his prior firearms training (desert range work with rifles/pistols, tactical gear, American flags, etc.), mixed with some overlaid or side-by-side clips that appear to be from the actual incident (a man in a hat with a handgun near bushes/building).

In circulating incident footage of the armed civilian (widely identified online as Salinas), he can be seen briefly stumbling or dropping lower and taking cover in nearby bushes before getting back up and continuing to move/engage. That movement is what can look like “getting hit and going down.” Multiple accounts describe it as tactical cover or a reaction during the exchange of fire, not an injury.

Social media reports and posts consistently state he survived without injury, remained active (including helping move wounded people afterward in some accounts), and is fine.

Official authorities have not publicly named or confirmed the civilian’s identity or any injury details about him. One separate report mentioned another armed civilian possibly being shot in the arm, but that is not attributed to Salinas.

The shooter ultimately died from an apparent self-inflicted wound. Police have confirmed the suspect is deceased and there is no ongoing threat, with 3 killed and others wounded overall.

Identification of Salinas remains based on witness descriptions, matching photos/videos of his training gear/stance/hat, and social media rather than an official police statement.

Still though, even when a story is this good, leave it to the few poindexters out there to say “But I read he didn’t actually kill the shooter and the shooter died by a self-inflicted gunshot!”

Like this:

UGH.

Talk about missing the point entirely.

You have NO idea how many more deaths gunshots flying back in the other direction may have prevented.

It bought time.

It threw the shooter off his game.

It may have been the very thing that led the shooter to end it.

To be a poindexter in a moment like this is really next level.

I like this much more:

Exactly right!

Here’s more, from the Hindustan Times:

Viral videos showed a man engage the shooter at the In-N-Out in Twin Falls, Idaho, as the internet hailed the individual as a ‘hero’. The shooting has left multiple dead and many injured, and authorities have confirmed that the shooter is among those dead.

The identity of the shooter or his motives is not known yet. The shooter reportedly began firing with an AR-style rifle, when a man with a pistol engaged the shooter, as per witness Lane Koehn who spoke with The Guardian.

Videos of the man engaging the shooter have gone viral on social media.

“This man is a HERO!!! He opened fire on an active shooter at a IN-N-OUT. He saved countless lives,” one wrote.
