Overview
- The shooting, which occurred Saturday at a newly opened In‑N‑Out in Twin Falls, left three people dead and seven others injured before the 24‑year‑old suspect was found with an apparent self‑inflicted gunshot wound.
- Twin Falls police identified the suspect as Chad Williams and said investigators are confident he acted alone while they continue to gather video, witness statements, and background information to determine a motive.
- Law enforcement credited return fire from an off‑duty Idaho state trooper and 35‑year‑old civilian Jordan Salinas with drawing the shooter away from the crowded restaurant and likely preventing more casualties.
- Families have publicly identified two of the dead as 23‑year‑old In‑N‑Out employee Ashley Garibay and 59‑year‑old Christopher Claunch, and authorities say several wounded victims remain hospitalized, including two in critical condition.
- The FBI is assisting local police in the active investigation, officials are reviewing widespread bystander video and social media to correct misinformation, and the community has organized vigils and support services for victims and witnesses.
