Who Is Jacob Berquist?

Jacob Berquist was identified by the police as the active shooter in the Boise, Idaho, mall shooting that killed two people.

Jo Acker, a mall security guard and army veteran who was hailed as a hero, was one among the numerous casualties. Roberto Padilla Arguelles was the name of the other deceased victim.

At the Boise Town Square, a major mall, authorities recounted a chaotic situation in which the security guard and a Boise police officer confronted the suspect, and a gunfight began between the cop and the suspect.

There hasn’t been a photo of Jacob Bergquist yet, but there is a Jacob Bergquist who references Boise cops and has put videos on YouTube of himself shooting firearms and writing about guns.

In that case, investigators are attempting to determine whether he is the same guy as the shooter at the Boise mall. If such information turns out to be true, the story will be updated accordingly.
