Who is Terry Dudley?

North Star Taxi wrote on Facebook that Terry is one of its drivers. It confirmed that Terry is alive but has a “long road ahead of him.”

“We will be closed for the rest of the night and possibly the next couple of days,” North Star Taxi wrote. “Our driver Terry Dudley was the victim of a mass shooting today. He is alive but has a very long road ahead of him. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.”

Bradford Willey, who referred to Terry as a “friend,” wrote on Facebook, “Almost 15 years ago I got clean from methamphetamine. I went to meetings at the freedom Hall in twin falls. Terry Dudley has been my sponsor since the beginning. He has helped me out of some jams and picked me up and taken me to many meetings when I needed them. Tonight I am praying for him. He was involved in a mass shooting today in twin falls Idaho and I pray to God that he's okay. Last I heard he was in surgery. May God put his healing hands on you tonight my friend and carry you through so that you may continue your journey. You have much to do my friend. If you have it in your heart and you believe at all please say a prayer for my friend Terry tonight. Thank you.”

What we know about the shooting

At 2:29 pm, an “active shooter incident” was first reported, and shortly afterwards, police urged people to avoid the area. Cops noted that roads in the area would be closed, as officers responded.

The suspected shooter, whose identity has yet to be revealed, is dead, Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said during a press conference. Joshua Palmer, a public information coordinator for the city, told The Independent that the number of victims could increase.

“We want to emphasize that that number may change,” Palmer said. “That was just the first number we got.”

Videos of the shooter opening fire have surfaced on social media.

Authorities have identified the shooter. Police in Twin Falls, Idaho, identified the suspect as Chad Williams, a 24-year-old male.

Williams died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound near the In-N-Out Burger restaurant where the shooting occurred. Investigators believe he acted alone, though a motive for the attack is still under investigation. The shooting left three people dead (including Williams) and seven others injured.

The Déjà vu makes it crap to read, plus the AI’s plausible deniability of who the statements were from.

The suspected shooter, whose identity has yet to be revealed, is dead...

So what rights are the authorities protecting now out of habit? Everything is in favor of criminals, of course.

Y’all know this could be some normal white boy nut? May he’s just not getting laid enough or too much(????) and figured this is stress management. Or he wanted to commit suicide, just not by hisself. Gotta be something. The Twin Falls cops are holding it down for some reason. Ted Bundy looked normal. Aha! He wasn’t.

Because the US media is trying to figure out how to blame this on Trump? I think.

True. Twin Falls leans left toward Boise.

"Twin Falls leans left toward Boise."

It didn't used to. Boise is a Big Blue City now thanks to Washingtonians and Californians. And Oregonians.

Don't get me started on how Coeur d'Alene used to be an absolutely beautiful place fifty years ago before rich leftists took it over.

Idaho might be lost.

The Hindustan Times is using the same Bangladeshi "newsroom" that's writing publications for the websites and "media" outlets in U.S. and the Commonwealth Nations.

It's far cheaper than hiring Western "journalism" majors and far more controllable.

They answer to different masters controlling what they report.
