Overview
- A lone gunman began shooting at the Twin Falls In‑N‑Out drive‑thru on Saturday, Aug. 1, killing three people and sending shoppers and employees fleeing from a busy plaza.
- Twin Falls police on Aug. 7 released compiled surveillance and body‑worn camera video that traces the shooter’s path, shows his handgun jamming, and shows him returning to retrieve a rifle before continuing to fire.
- Authorities identified the shooter as 24‑year‑old Chad Williams, who died of an apparent self‑inflicted gunshot as officers closed in, and officials say they have not yet determined a motive.
- Police credited an off‑duty Idaho State Police trooper, a wounded former officer (Austin James), and at least one armed civilian who returned fire with diverting the attacker and likely limiting further deaths.
- The shooting left three confirmed dead — Ashley Garibay, Christopher Claunch, and Dale Schultz — and reports list between seven and ten wounded; investigators and the FBI continue forensic work, victim support, and public safety reviews.
