When evil showed up at a crowded In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho, two ordinary people made extraordinary decisions.
In this episode of the Bearded Monkey Podcast, Cody Lanier, Police Lieutenant, firearms instructor, and owner of Bearded Monkey Tactical, sits down with his wife, Lasamoa and a special guest, to break down the tragic active shooter attack that shocked Idaho and the courageous response that likely prevented even greater loss of life.
You'll learn:
- A timeline of the Twin Falls active shooter incident
- What investigators know about the suspect
- The background of the legally armed citizen who engaged the attacker
- The actions of the off-duty Idaho State Trooper who also confronted the threat
- Tactical lessons every responsibly armed citizen should understand
- Why mindset, training, accuracy, and medical preparedness matter far more than gear alone
This episode isn't about sensationalizing violence. It's about learning from real-world events so that ordinary people are better prepared to protect themselves and those they love.
If you carry a firearm for self-defense, or are considering obtaining your concealed handgun permit, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
The article we read from today was from the Associated Press.
