A second gunman seen during the Idaho In-N-Out shooting was an armed civilian who was trying to distract the suspect and prevent more people from being targeted, according to police. NewsNation’s Courtney Friel shares the latest on the investigation after authorities identified the suspect as 24-year-old Chad Williams, who investigators say died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Officials say they are confident Williams acted alone and continue to search for a motive.

Why are we not talking about justice and reform for these white boys who go on these mad shootings on regular ass citizens we always talking about the criminal underworld and trying to criminalized black youth and Hispanic youth and putting a face all over the goddamn news I ain’t seen this white boy space plastered nowhere nowhere😊
Honestly it's almost poetic justice to see this happen in states with such lax gun laws. How many dead kids will it take? Genuine question.

All 2nd Amendment Americans, this is the catalyst to reign in terror from any anti-American, foreign or domestic. Take back our security, engage and eliminate threats.
It blows my mind how much the government tries to infringe our second amendment rights to make society safer? Last time i checked criminals don’t care about the hundreds of gun law’s these states have.. so glad my county is pro-CCW.. hoorah to the man defending himself and other civilians..
In n out needs to feed this guys for life!!
Show a better picture of the killer
That story sucked. They ignored the hero in the story.
That's why I always conceal carry everywhere I go
Disgusting man evil human maybe Mexican drug cartel or terror isis and mass shoot people and other don’t know crime evil history ? Sickening
Bad guy died! A happy ending.
Chicken shit galore. Show his face
Be brave open carry
Your frontal lobe hasn’t developed but hey you’re of age to buy a gun… what could go wrong??? Merica!
Do we have a motive?
24-years old and $24.00 for a fast food lunch.
not grAt
Why the 180° about the gun control narrative??!??
What happened to "defund the police"??? No longer supporting the criminal element when it suits?!?!?!??
Thank you so much to the guy in the cowboy hat for saving lives who knows how many more lives he could have took.
Im sorry for the families that lost their loved ones
Chad Williams that’s for your service 🖕
The only way a citizen gets praised in US for murdering someone is if it’s a mass shooter. If it is not a mass shooter but just a shooter( one on one to save someone’s life ) , he would then go to trial.
Who raised CHAD? Raise your sons to have positive mental health, self esteem, and respect for life!
No one deserves to get killed at work
It’s so embarrassing there are “fellow citizens” who see this video and still have the nerve to comment “still, if guns were banned there wouldn’t be need for people to have to carry” 🤦🏽♂️ they only look at it from a fear standpoint, when back then all men of the house would have a rifle for protection, to hunt for food/clothing, and most importantly to “overthrow a tyrannous government” like the Declaration of Independence states.
Looks like unfettered access to firearms results in death, I'm shocked.
Actuality is he did divert the shooters attention stopping him from creating more victims and the shooter killed himself the YouTuber was accompanied in returning fire by an off duty police officer
* Far-right extremists have committed more ideologically motivated mass shootings than far-left extremists in modern U.S. data.
* Islamist-inspired attacks account for some high-profile incidents (such as Orlando and San Bernardino), but they are a minority of all public mass shootings.
The percentages of mass shooters ethnicity differ somewhat across datasets, but a typical breakdown is approximately:
* White: 50–60%
* Black: 20–25%
* Hispanic: 10–15%
* Asian: 5–10%
* Other: small remainder
Citizenship and nationality
The overwhelming majority of mass shooters are:
* U.S. citizens, either by birth or naturalization.
A small minority are:
* Permanent residents (green card holders)
* Visa holders
* Individuals with uncertain or unlawful immigration status
Several of the highest-profile perpetrators in recent years (Las Vegas, Uvalde, Sandy Hook, Parkland, Buffalo, Nashville, etc.) were U.S. citizens.
Only about 20–30% of public mass shooters appear to have a significant ideological motivation.
Among those ideologically motivated attacks:
* Far-right / white supremacist ideology has been the most common.
* Examples include attacks in Charleston (2015), Pittsburgh (2018), El Paso (2019), and Buffalo (2022).
* Islamist extremist ideology accounts for a smaller but significant share.
* Examples include Orlando (2016) and San Bernardino (2015).
* Misogynistic/incel ideology has motivated several attacks.
* Examples include Isla Vista (2014) and Toronto van attack (Canada).
Far-left or anarchist ideological mass shootings are comparatively uncommon in the United States.
Good guys: 1. Bad guy 3 plus 6 shooting injuries. Bad guys always win in a gun culture. Because good guys can t shoot bad guys BEFORE they go bad. So saying that a good guy with a gun is all you need is mathematically backwards. If everyone has guns, bad guys win overwhelmingly always. Many more innocent die than bad guys if everyone has a gun. How is that not understood?
Law abiding citizens are tired of this shit!
Always a Chad.Funny how it was an off duty copper. Any evidence?
Another –>⬜coward with a rifle, nothing new under the sun…
Absolutely tragic
My brother was working there and im so happy he is safe. He said he grabbed as many people as they could and they hid in the back office. This is so fucking disturbing.
Thank God for bystanders with guns
Can we give a little more attention the the “good guy with a gun” how would have this been without someone to help slow him down. At least the acknowledge him a little unlike other outlets.
I say let’s train and arm people to deter predators. Predators always pray on the vulnerable they don’t go after the strong or well armed. Just sayin 🤷🏻♂️
