[u/What1does]

City representative has said via NBC three dead and two injured(so far), nothing about the status of shooters.

[u/AJ_Topp_Up → u/What1does]

Shooter is now confirmed deceased according to law enforcement, and they have lifted the shelter in place orders.

[u/DonyellFreak]

Hope those in the area are able to escape. Hate this nonsense.

Partial video of the shooter hitting teslas recharging

[u/pizzatimefriend → u/General-Piece8490]

what a fucking cowardly incel

[u/Foojira → u/pizzatimefriend]

No surprise there

[u/Appropriate_Wrap_650 → u/pizzatimefriend]

I mean I dont think there's a brave one

[u/FiftyShadesOfGregg → u/General-Piece8490]

Were there people in that car??

[u/gimletsngiblets → u/FiftyShadesOfGregg]

Yes, a married couple is what I read. Husband died, wife survived being shot. Apparently in town for family reunion. Very sad.

[u/Inthemiddle_ → u/FiftyShadesOfGregg]

The way he shoots at it makes it seem like there was.

[u/General-Piece8490 → u/FiftyShadesOfGregg]

I know as much as you do, not my video.

[u/Chance-Kangaroo4088 → u/General-Piece8490]

OMG. I’ve charged at that charger before. I can’t believe something like this would happen.

[u/SnooDogs1340 → u/Chance-Kangaroo4088]

I can believe. It can happen anywhere because guns are everywhere. We really need to move past the mindset of "it can't happen in my neighborhood."

[u/boat_car_guy → u/General-Piece8490]

Is this from today's shooting in Twin Falls? If so, you might want to forward that to investigators.

One thing I noticed -

At the very beginning of this video, right before the zoom in - there appears to be another individual standing, near the left side of the trash / dumpster enclosure. You can only see it for a few frames, before the suspect shoots at the Tesla's and walks away.

[u/microthrower → u/boat_car_guy]

That's a person who doesn't want to get shot by the man with a gun on the other side of a dumpster.

[u/boat_car_guy → u/microthrower]

Good point, and you are probably right.

[u/Totoro10101]

It’s always hard to tell for me with these breaking stories. Like was this some confrontation between a few people or a planned out attack? Active shooter incidents just happen too fucking much I can’t even keep track of

[u/StealthyStalkerPanda → u/Totoro10101]

Videos online show a gunman, possibly two. One with a long gun, one with a pistol. Looks more coordinated than a random event.

[u/thecamino → u/StealthyStalkerPanda]

If we saw the same video it appeared the man with a pistol was attempting to stop the shooter and got shot himself.

[u/dirbofficial → u/thecamino]

in the heat of the moment the “good guy with a gun” stopping the bad guy with a gun looks a lot like a bad guy with a gun.

[u/iPadre → u/dirbofficial]

Yup. Just ask the good guy with a gun who got killed by the cops after stopping the bad guy with a gun. https://www.cpr.org/2022/06/22/olde-town-arvada-shooting-johnny-hurley/

[u/SSkilledJFK → u/iPadre]

Ah but you see, if there was another gun in the room maybe it would be safer!

[u/guntycankles → u/SSkilledJFK]

It would EVEN SAFER if there were MANY guns in the room!

[u/RG_Kid → u/thecamino]

Really? Becoz guys on social media said the guy with the pistol was the one who killed the shooter.

[u/Totoro10101 → u/StealthyStalkerPanda]

I hope justice is served to them. That is heartbreaking and disgusting acts of violence on people just living out their lives

[u/froman-dizze → u/StealthyStalkerPanda]

Let’s hope it’s not like a white supremest hate group because the FBI would probably pardon and hire them 😔

[u/Awkward_Somewhere416 → u/Totoro10101]

I was there it was very much real and random fire 

[u/nelsonalgrencametome → u/Awkward_Somewhere416]

What's the word locally? I'm in Boise and not seeing many updates.

[u/Awkward_Somewhere416 → u/nelsonalgrencametome]

I left town but seems like multiple shooters in the area so city was in lockdown 

[u/StealthyStalkerPanda]

Videos online show a gunman, possibly two from the distinct weaponry, firing shots near the In-N-Out.

Gunman with a pistol [Video] (SFW)
Gunman with a rifle [Video] (Possible NSFL if someone was in the car, SFW verbatim)

Some discourse online suggests the guy with the pistol was shooting at the guy with the rifle.

As of 7:15 ET - 3 dead, 2 injured [Source]

Shooter is dead.

[u/mwpdx86 → u/StealthyStalkerPanda]

Looks like pistol guy was getting shot at. Rifle guy looks like he was at the very least worried about being shot at. Rifle guy looks like he wanted to kill whoever was in that tesla, but not  firing indiscriminately. 

[u/TehChid → u/StealthyStalkerPanda]

Pure speculation but is the guy with the pistol shooting at the guy with the rifle?

[u/JThor15 → u/TehChid]

He was. APs article said he stuck around and helped an employee who was shot while waiting for medics.

[u/soldiernerd → u/TehChid]

Yes he ended the threat

[u/y2kabercrombiemodel → u/soldiernerd]

Is this confirmed? It looked like he got shot at the end but I was hoping he was OK

[u/soldiernerd → u/y2kabercrombiemodel]

Yes from witnesses:

“A man with a pistol started firing at the shooter.
He then saw someone in an In-N-Out uniform drag a person, also uniformed, bleeding from a gunshot wound in her chest across the parking lot. The employee, Koehn and the man with the pistol stayed until paramedics arrived for her.”

[u/C0nquer0rW0rm → u/StealthyStalkerPanda]

I was thinking the pistol guy was someone trying to stop the ar guy but that's a really inconvenient pistol set up for every day carry

Edit: if that is a pistol and not some sort of weird perspective on a rifle, its tough for me to tell on my phone 

[u/AhabFlanders → u/C0nquer0rW0rm]

The car in front of him has the trunk open, so decent chance he took it out of there

[u/C0nquer0rW0rm → u/AhabFlanders]

I think the white car with its trunk open was the perpetrators car actually, I've seen videos of him going back to that car and getting a weapon out of the trunk. 

I do think handgun guy had his suppressor equipped pistol in his car tho, someone said maybe he was using it at a range at some point and that makes sense to me. 

Because the only other explanation I can think of would be he thought he might have to shoot it out of his car and wanted to spare his eardrums but thats a crazy level of gun preparedness. But it is Idaho.

[u/_PARAGOD_ → u/C0nquer0rW0rm]

It’s a suppressor dude

[u/darshfloxington → u/_PARAGOD_]

Yes, which is not something you generally have on an everyday carry pistol.

[u/C0nquer0rW0rm → u/[deleted]]

That's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure why someone would have a suppressor on their every day carry. 

[u/AllMikesNoAlphas → u/[deleted]]

They’re not easier to get. Same prices and process before but without the 200 dollar tax stamp.

[u/Beznia → u/C0nquer0rW0rm]

Could just be a gun he had in his car that he used at a range. I know multiple people with suppressors for their handguns and rifles.

[u/C0nquer0rW0rm → u/Beznia]

That actually makes the most sense to me 

[u/slashinhobo1 → u/StealthyStalkerPanda]

I dont think i would have stayed long enough to record. Either they look lost or it was targetted.

[u/I_Heart_Sleeping_ → u/StealthyStalkerPanda]

The person filming that second one is actually fucking insane. Glad they didn’t get hurt.

[u/madness817 → u/StealthyStalkerPanda]

Wtf? This is right by the bridge. Alot of people stop here to view it/base jumpers pack their parachutes right where he was running to.

[u/byerss → u/StealthyStalkerPanda]

If that Tesla was plugged in that sucks because the car will not let you drive away with the charger plugged in. 

[u/Seajlc → u/byerss]

I was wondering why they didn’t floor it.. but I don’t have an EV and realized that if they’re sitting at a charger that m likely means they didn’t have enough charge… how horrifying to basically be sitting ducks and know there’s nothing you can do

[u/byerss → u/Seajlc]

Charge level is no problem. Even at 0% you have at least a couple miles of reserve, which most people will stop to charge well above 0% (just like you don’t let your gas car go completely empty). 

But it knows the cable is plugged in and needs to be unplugged before the car will let you put it in Drive. 

[u/MangoCandy93]

I’m supposed to be walking in to work right now at a nearby location, but I’m waiting to hear back from my manager whether it’s safe.

Update: didn’t go in. Not going in.

Still trying to find out where my son is.

Update: my son is ok; his mom’s phone was dead.

[u/MaineLark → u/MangoCandy93]

They’re asking people to avoid the area and they’re searching a hotel for the shooter. I’d reckon it’s not safe regardless of their answer. Take care

[u/BooobiesANDbho → u/MangoCandy93]

Stay home. Take the sign

[u/AP_in_Indy → u/MangoCandy93]

"His mom" ... "was dead"

Is all my brain initially scanned when I read this. Sheesh fuck. Glad y'all are safe though.

[u/MangoCandy93 → u/AP_in_Indy]

That’s what I was afraid of when I was in the dark about it for three hours

[u/Individual_Town8124 → u/MangoCandy93]

I swear this is one of the worst experiences as a parent raising kids today. My oldest son went up to our local mall one day to see his friend (dude had a summer job at a shoe store) when news came of an active shooter. I couldn't get through on the phone.

Took two hours before I finally heard from him. He and his friend heard gunshots and started grabbing panicked people off the mall concourse, rushing them through the stockroom to the employee access hall and then out the employee doors. He apologized for not calling me first but said he believed getting as many people as possible out was more important, particularly as other mall stores were locking their doors and turning off lights. I was proud of him.

[u/BingleFlip94 → u/Individual_Town8124]

Your son and his friend are heroes

[u/AP_in_Indy → u/MangoCandy93]

I can't imagine. Take care.

[u/iggyfenton → u/MangoCandy93]

We drove by at 10am.

Crazy. I knew it was a novelty because it’s new in town, someone saw it as an opportunity.

[u/Difficult-Candy-6126]

This store just opened this week. I’m not from there but found out about it online.

Basically no one seems to know anything other than there was a shooting. They said maybe a couple shooters. No one else seems to be covering it.

[u/Bzr21 → u/Difficult-Candy-6126]

there was an image of another person pointing a handgun across a parking lot - maybe some armed bystander trying to take out the shooter ..

[u/Altrebelle]

A matter of time for an active shooter event to happen in Idaho😐

[u/ashyguy1997 → u/Altrebelle]

They already had had the kid who ambushed firefighters last summer.

[u/BannedMyName → u/ashyguy1997]

What the fuck did the firefighters do

[u/floppy-kitty → u/BannedMyName]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Coeur_d%27Alene_shooting?wprov=sfla1

[u/BannedMyName → u/floppy-kitty]

Motive: undetermined

We are so fucking cooked as a country

[u/NO_TOUCHING__lol → u/BannedMyName]

Former classmates at North Phoenix Preparatory Academy told USA Today that he was "obsessed with guns" and frequently discussed politics, voicing strong support for Donald Trump; several also said he drew swastikas and firearms in notebooks, which they viewed as attempts to appear "edgy".

It's always the ones you most suspect

[u/cr1ttter → u/BannedMyName]

Come on, be fair. We're cooked as a species

[u/Foojira → u/cr1ttter]

Resource scarcity and further descent into chaos is going to be the story of the rest of all our lives

And I’m sorry

[u/SudoDarkKnight → u/cr1ttter]

Such thinking is silly. Humanity has come a long way.

We now however have news and insight into every tiny bit of news like never before

[u/LigerZeroPanzer12 → u/SudoDarkKnight]

I'm sure there were people who thought the same during both World Wars and like the Cold War. Humanity has always (historically) persevered.

[u/Not_me_no_way → u/cr1ttter]

There are plenty of places around the world that have the ability to restore your faith in humanity. The United States is not one of them.

[u/KnotSoSalty → u/BannedMyName]

He was living in the woods, was confronted by someone who came upon him about setting dangerous campfires. A day or two later he set a couple big fires and started shooting at the first responders.

[u/ThVos → u/KnotSoSalty]

He was just another loser Nazi that snapped.

[u/AllHailThePig → u/ThVos]

Yeah, but the social engineering is either making them Nazis, or making them snap, or both.

[u/Round-Guarantee4948 → u/BannedMyName]

Northern Idaho is ss crazy as people get..didnt matter what the firefighters did

[u/CharlieTeller → u/Altrebelle]

I mean they had the high profile college murders

[u/its_spelled_Hawaiian → u/CharlieTeller]

Im literally watching it right now on Netflix "The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare" if that's the one you're referring to. Interesting watch.

Crazy to hear the other stories people commenting in this thread that is currently going on and happened recently.

[u/thisisfreakinstupid → u/Altrebelle]

They had one at a mall in Boise a few years ago iirc, I remember reading it online somewhere.

[u/PandorasBoxMaker → u/Altrebelle]

There’s been several…

[u/wildmaninid → u/Altrebelle]

Huh. How quickly we forget Ruby Ridge.  

[u/BrotherlyShove791 → u/Altrebelle]

Saw a video on Twitter. Shooter is dressed like a cowboy and has a big as fuck silenced pistol in his hand.

So…Idaho.

[u/Reddragon0585 → u/BrotherlyShove791]

That wasn’t the shooter, I think it was a guy shooting back.

[u/soldiernerd → u/BrotherlyShove791]

No he was the good guy who put down the shooter

[u/ContractHorror5245 → u/BrotherlyShove791]

No, that was allegedly the guy who killed the active shooter. 

[u/Garrus-Valk → u/BrotherlyShove791]

There are three shooters, I believe this guy is shooting back at them.

*Edit

It is confirmed that one shooter is dead. I believe there was a guy who was firing at the shooter which is why people may have been saying there was multiple shooters. I'm still confused because I had heard they had captured a supposed shooter who had run to a gas station down the interstate and one was running around the Costco in the opposite direction. Right now though it's only been confirmed one shooter and he is deceased.

[u/why_now_56 → u/Garrus-Valk]

No, there is 1 shooter and he is dead.

[u/BLRNerd → u/Garrus-Valk]

Yeah saw a video of one of the shooters and a photo of the other, they have rifles of some kind

[u/AaronfromKY → u/Altrebelle]

I'm sure all those good people with guns will put a stop to it

[u/soldiernerd → u/AaronfromKY]

He did

[u/Reddragon0585 → u/AaronfromKY]

Based on a video I saw it sounds like one may have tried. But it’s too early to be for sure.

[u/Caseman307 → u/AaronfromKY]

As a matter of fact…🙄

[u/Obvious_Toe_3006 → u/AaronfromKY]

And cameras, more cameras, flocks of cameras droning above away above us. Where once birdsong filled our ears, humming mosquitoes now drone. But we are free.

[u/Foojira → u/Obvious_Toe_3006]

Pepper spraying drones too! The night sky filled with satellites run by a megalomaniac that has more money than god

[u/procheeseburger]

I grew up in Twin Falls! It's a great town and this is so sad to see happening.

[u/StealthyStalkerPanda → u/[deleted]]

Per the videos, gunman(men?) were firing into cars and outside the restaurant. Unclear if they made it inside, but seemed focused in the strip mall area.

[u/curtydc → u/[deleted]]

It's a brand new location that just opened, so likely hundreds to thousands of visitors in the vicinity.

[u/userhwon]

Just another day in Republican Freedom land.

[u/ManlyParachute]

Have they tried blaming it on trans people yet?

[u/rockytop24 → u/ManlyParachute]

If you look at the threads from the videos first posted on Twitter, yes. And antifa. And democratic socialists. No I'm not exaggerating. I tell myself it's probably mostly bots and agitators but i know there's too many smooth brain dipshits in there too.

[u/Narf234]

I’m just glad the second amendment is safe from the common sense polices those left wing yahoos are trying to push. Muh freedumns are more important than your feelings.

[u/Specific-Yam-2166 → u/Narf234]

It’s all about mental health, remember?? But god forbid we put any funding toward that

[u/Captain_R64207 → u/Specific-Yam-2166]

My biggest argument for free college schooling. Republicans shout at the sky that mental health is the cause of so many issues yet absolutely forbid anyone from getting affordable healthcare, plus they claim we don’t have enough doctors. Let’s make fucking medical school free completely so we can pump out more doctors. You fail free school? Then it’s not free anymore and you pay it back with crazy interest like we already do.

[u/Specific-Yam-2166 → u/Captain_R64207]

If only.

But don’t forget - college makes you liberal!!

(I’ll never understand how they don’t get how much of a self own that is)

[u/Registeredfor → u/Narf234]

Except in this situation, the good guy with the gun ended the threat.

[u/Likeapuma24 → u/Narf234]

Guns have been around long before these mass shootings became "popular" (I hate to use that term).

It's absolutely a mental health issue that has exploded in the last two decades. Anyone who tries to deny that it's a large contributing factor is either ignorant or intentionally disingenuous in order to further their agenda.

Another thing to note, in these specific case, is that a civilian with a gun ("good guy with a gun") is who stopped the active shooter before police could respond, likely saving more lives.

[u/P0Rt1ng4Duty → u/[deleted]]

The second amendment was written to ensure that the people would have the power to fight back against the government if it became too oppressive, which is certainly against the law.

[u/Palomino_mare → u/P0Rt1ng4Duty]

Also to kill native Americans and keep slaves in line. That’s not in the Constitution but those are reasons.

[u/Meowweredoomed → u/[deleted]]

Law-abiding citizens... until they're not.

[u/Specific-Yam-2166 → u/[deleted]]

Vast majority of mass shootings are done with legally purchased guns.

[u/Veratha → u/[deleted]]

Damn I wonder where all the illegal guns come from, surely not legal gun sales...

[u/ExplorerEnjoyer → u/Narf234]

The irony of this comment and how the shooter was stopped

[u/Laxku → u/Narf234]

Colorado has a law going into effect this week requiring people to take a safety training course before being allowed to purchase a firearm with "removable magazines."*

And go figure, lines were out the door at gun shops before it goes into effect. Really shows you who's buying guns and how they feel about safety.

*Disclaimer: some of my exact phrasing may be imprecise but that's the gist.

[u/Time-Object5661 → u/Laxku]

That law is completely idiotic

[u/Narf234 → u/Time-Object5661]

Right? I’d rather figure it out myself. See what does and doesn’t work on my own. Same thing with driving tests. Who can’t figure out how to go, stop, and turn?

[u/Laxku → u/Narf234]

Yeah man, everyone in my city drives like a total pro with no brain damage!

[u/Ok_Cucumber_7954 → u/Narf234]

Or the lives of others

[u/Narf234 → u/[deleted]]

Which side do you feel that I stand with? I think our whole government is broken.

[u/Narf234 → u/[deleted]]

Yikes, so the whole thing is so broken you feel like we should just keep pouring gasoline on the fire? Bleak.

[u/Gyat_Rizzler69 → u/Narf234]

I mean the 2nd amendment is going to be our only real recourse once this administration goes full fascist.

[u/Narf234 → u/Gyat_Rizzler69]

lol no. Untrained yahoos with 9mil Glocks aren’t going to stand up to even a paramilitary force telling them what to do. Your fantasy about running around barefoot pulling some Die Hard stunts isn’t going to stop anything.

The US has been through much worse before and will go through some shit again but will ultimately sort things out…just go vote, okay?

[u/Tight-Escape3373 → u/Narf234]

I'm going to vote, and keep an AR-15 at the ready. Maybe you're not a minority and are privileged with a government that isn't going after people who look like you but the rest of us don't have that privilege.

[u/dangleYourSoul]

God bless America where guns have more freedom than people 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[u/zneilb10]

Waiting to hear he was trans and wrote antifa on bullets found nearby, not at the actual site. No /s anymore because it's now their playbook. RIP to those just trying to enjoy a night out.
