The FBI is assisting an investigation interviewing hundreds of witnesses to identify the shooter, determine motive, process evidence.

Overview

  • A shooting at the newly opened In‑N‑Out on Blue Lakes Boulevard in Twin Falls on Saturday left three people dead and seven others injured, with some in critical condition.
  • Police found the suspected shooter deceased near the restaurant and said the threat to the community is over, though officials have not yet released the shooter’s identity or a motive.
  • Multiple witnesses reported the attacker carried an AR‑style rifle and said a civilian fired back while employees and bystanders helped wounded people to safety.
