Idaho State Police on Tuesday identified McClain as the off-duty officer who returned fire at an armed gunman outside the Twin Falls restaurant earlier this month. As a victim who had been shot at, himself, his identity was previously withheld.
Video released by Twin Falls police on Friday shows McClain in a white T-shirt vaulting over the counter once the shooting began, drawing his sidearm and returning fire.

McClain then directed employees out of the kitchen and, later, the building, according to Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks.
