The armed civilian who’s been praised for his ‘heroic act’ of returning fire on the In-N-Out gunman in Idaho said he began self-defense training five years ago after another deadly shooting.
Jordan Salinas, 35, was headed out for a horseback riding date with his girlfriend on Saturday afternoon when he was suddenly faced with putting the techniques he had learned to use.
He pulled into the restaurant’s parking lot around 2.30pm, around the same time that Chad Williams, 24, opened fire on innocent people with an AR-style rifle, cops said.
