A tragic shooting occurred at a newly opened In-N-Out restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho, on Saturday, resulting in the deaths of three people and injuring seven others. The gunman, 24-year-old Chad Williams, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Details of the Shooting
According to Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks, Williams acted alone in the shooting. An off-duty state trooper and a civilian returned gunfire, which police believe helped prevent additional deaths and injuries.
The shooting occurred in a busy commercial area of Twin Falls, with multiple hotels, retailers, and restaurants nearby. The In-N-Out restaurant had been open for only a week before the incident.
Response and Investigation
The FBI has established a digital media tip line for anyone with information or footage of the shooting. Authorities are withholding additional details to avoid compromising the investigation.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help cover the medical costs of one of the victims, Terry Dudley, who was shot twice in the back while sitting in his car.
