24‑Year‑Old Dead After Twin Falls In‑N‑Out Shooting That Killed Three

Police say return fire by an off‑duty trooper and a civilian likely stopped more killings while investigators work with the FBI to gather evidence and correct false online claims.

Overview

  • A gunman opened fire at the Twin Falls In‑N‑Out on Saturday, killing three people and wounding seven before dying of an apparent self‑inflicted gunshot, Twin Falls police said.
  • Authorities identified the shooter as 24‑year‑old Chad Williams and said investigators are confident he acted alone as they continue to interview witnesses and collect video evidence.
  • Twin Falls police credited an off‑duty Idaho State Police trooper and civilian Jordan Salinas with returning fire that they say drove the attacker from the drive‑through and likely prevented additional casualties.
  • One of the dead was an In‑N‑Out employee, identified by family and company representatives as 23‑year‑old Ashley Garibay, and several other victims remain hospitalized with two in critical condition.
  • The FBI is assisting the local probe and police have publicly asked social‑media users to remove false accusations after others, including Amer Mandzic, were wrongly identified online and faced harassment.
