A man who returned fire during a fatal shooting at an In-N-Out restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho, had completed firearm training after a 2021 mass shooting, according to reporting by The Guardian. The training was described in accounts of the incident as part of his preparation to respond during an emergency.
The shooting prompted a confrontation involving the gunman, an armed bystander and others at or near the restaurant. Reports said the bystander’s response distracted the attacker and helped create an opportunity for others to react, while a Dick’s Sporting Goods employee also described coming face to face with the shooter.
Authorities said the gunman acted alone. The incident remains the subject of official investigation, and the available reports did not provide further details about the circumstances that led to the shooting or the identities of those involved.
