Police named Chad Williams, 24, as the man involved in the shooting at a newly opened In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho. Williams was eventually subdued by an off-duty state trooper and an armed citizen who returned fire during the incident.
According to Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks, Williams died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after fatally shooting an employee and a customer. Authorities think Williams acted alone in the Saturday attack.
Williams was found dead near the restaurant. Chief Hicks praised the off-duty officer and citizen for their quick action. “We believe their actions helped drive the suspect away from the scene, preventing further casualties,” he stated in a Sunday news conference.
In total, three people died, and seven were injured, as confirmed by city spokesperson Josh Palmer. The latest update on the injured reveals that two victims have been released from the hospital. Of the remaining wounded, three are in stable condition, and two are in critical condition.
The story is unfolding, and further updates will be provided as they become available.
