Authorities have confirmed that the shooter involved in the deadly attack at an In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The incident occurred on Saturday, leaving three people dead and seven others injured. Two of the victims were treated at a hospital and discharged, while others remain under medical care in varying conditions.
Police Chief Matthew Hicks stated that evidence suggests the suspect, 24-year-old Chad Williams, acted alone. The restaurant had only opened one week prior to the shooting. Investigators are still in the process of identifying the suspect's motives and are working closely with the family of the shooter.
Local law enforcement credited an off-duty state trooper and an armed citizen with intervening during the violence. Their actions were decisive in moving the shooter away from the building, likely preventing additional casualties. The FBI is now assisting with the investigation and has requested that members of the public provide any photos or video footage captured at the scene.
Twin Falls officials have warned against the spread of false information online regarding the identity of the shooter, confirming that individuals previously named in social media rumors were not involved. The victims of this event are currently being identified, and officials are focused on informing their families before releasing public statements.
