Three Dead in Twin Falls In‑N‑Out Shooting

Authorities say the lone gunman died of a self‑inflicted gunshot and investigators with FBI support are collecting evidence and interviewing hundreds of witnesses to determine motive.

Overview

  • Police responded to reports of an active shooter at the In‑N‑Out on Blue Lakes Boulevard North in Twin Falls on Saturday and found a chaotic scene with multiple victims and bystanders.
  • Twin Falls officials have confirmed three people were killed and several others wounded, and they are still notifying next of kin and finalizing casualty counts.
  • Investigators identified the shooter as 24‑year‑old Chad Williams and said he died from a self‑inflicted gunshot while evidence so far indicates he acted alone.
