A newly released video shows the deadly path a gunman took through a Twin Falls, Idaho, In-N-Out Burger and the surrounding area during last week’s shooting that killed three people and wounded seven others. The gunman, identified as 24-year-old Chad Williams, acted alone, according to authorities, who have not determined a motive.
Timeline of the Attack
Dispatchers received the first 911 call reporting an active shooter at the In-N-Out restaurant at 2:29 p.m. The video begins with the gunman pulling into the restaurant’s drive-thru, where police said he shot and killed restaurant employee Ashley Garibay. He then pulled forward, got out of his car, and shot and killed restaurant patron Christopher Claunch with a semi-automatic rifle in the drive-thru.
A former Twin Falls police officer and Idaho State Police trooper, Austin James Scott, ran toward the gunfire and confronted the gunman, according to police. Scott drew his handgun but was pulled into a car by others and given aid due to severe blood loss. An off-duty Idaho State Police trooper inside the restaurant helped evacuate employees and customers while searching for the shooter.
The gunman then retrieved a semi-automatic rifle from his Honda Civic as the trooper and gunman exchanged fire. A bystander who tried to assist the trooper and provide aid to a victim inside the restaurant was also shot, police said.
The gunman moved toward Blue Lakes Boulevard, where police said he shot three people who were stopped at a red light. An armed bystander, identified as Jordan Salinas, opened fire on the gunman, who ran toward a nearby Tesla charging station.
At the charging station, police said, the gunman shot a person inside one Tesla before shooting Dale Schultz, who died, and wounding Schultz’s passenger in a second Tesla. The gunman continued toward the Twin Falls Visitors Center and a nearby trail as officers closed in, police said.
People evacuated the visitors center, while three others sheltered inside as he entered the building. Police said an employee later confronted the gunman on the trail, giving others time to escape. Officers pursued him toward the canyon, where an officer found him near the edge behind a shopping center. Police said the gunman died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound and his body fell into the canyon.
