NBC News · back to the audit
A gunman killed three people and wounded others in a shooting at an In-N-Out restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho, on Saturday before fatally shooting himself, police said. The gunman was identified by police Sunday as Chad Williams, 24. The circumstances of the shooting, which occurred at around 12:30 p.m. Saturday, as well as a possible motive remained under investigation, Twin Falls Police Chief said at a Sunday news conference. "We are that confident Mr. Williams acted alone," Hicks said. Police responded to the area of the restaurant, known for its burgers and milkshakes, after multiple 911 calls were made reporting gunfire at around 2:29 p.m., Hicks said. "Dispatchers could hear screaming and reports of gunshots in the background," he said. In addition to the three victims killed, seven others were injured, two of whom remained in critical condition Sunday, Hicks said. The identities of the victims who were killed were not released by police because family notifications were being made, he said. Lynsi Snyder, the president of In-N-Out Burger, said a worker was among those killed. "She was taking care of our most important asset — our customers, and her life was taken by a disgusting human who doesn't value the lives of others or his own," Snyder said. She added: "He shot both on our property and off, and ended his life shortly after he took the precious lives of our associate and customers, innocent people who never saw it coming." Hicks said hundreds of potential witnesses were expected to be interviewed. An armed bystander and an off-duty state police officer who happened to be there returned fire at the shooter, which Hicks called heroic actions that drove the gunman away and likely prevented more casualties. The In-N-Out location, the fourth in Idaho, opened July 24.
