Hard to imagine that something like that would happen here in relatively peaceful gem state but we also all thought that a mall shooting would never happen here and sadly it did. Now the gem state is also home to the most recent shooting at a coffee shop. Yes, a coffee shop. This happened yesterday in Northern Idaho next to the Washington boarder in Post Falls.
Roberto Padilla Arguelles, 49, was one of the two victims who tragically lost their lives in a senseless act of gun violence at the Boise Townsquare Mall on Monday.
Boise police quickly secured the scene asking everyone to get down on the ground. The man that was being dragged out of the street had been shot several times. It became clear who the suspect was and that he had fled the scene before officers arrived.
When he was placed under arrest, Salinas began to fight with officers and used the knife to stab one officer in the face. He turned to stab another officer and at that point was shot by one of the 3 officers at the scene.
