[DM] 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.
Salinas immediately saw people running for their lives before realizing that a gunman was to blame for the chaos, he recalled to the Idaho Statesman. An unnamed off-duty trooper also fired at Williams, police said.
An 'automatic' and 'mechanical' response quickly set in for him, as Salinas ran toward the danger after reaching for his shoulder holster and pulling out an FN Five Seven - a semi-automatic pistol with a suppressor - on Williams. |
