In-N-Out president says 'heart is broken' after employee, customers killed in Idaho shooting

In-N-Out President Lynsi Snyder said her "heart is broken" after an employee and customers were killed when a gunman opened fire at one of the burger chain's newest restaurants in Idaho. Three people were killed and seven others injured, some critically, in the Saturday afternoon shooting at the In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, city spokesperson Josh Palmer said. Police found the suspected gunman dead near the restaurant, though Palmer said it was not immediately clear whether the shooter was included in the city's reported death toll. "We lost one of our beautiful Associates tonight," Snyder said in a statement posted to Facebook. "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 the gunman fired both on and away from In-N-Out property before ending his own life shortly after killing the employee and customers. "My heart is broken, my chest is heavy, my eyes burn from the tears I've shed," she wrote. Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said investigators were also working to identify the suspected shooter and determine a motive. "We believe the threat to the community is over," Hicks said during a news conference. "It was a very chaotic scene." The shooting unfolded at about 2 p.m. in a busy shopping plaza where hundreds of people were in the area, according to Palmer. The restaurant first opened on July 24, barely a week before the attack, as part of In-N-Out's expansion into the Gem State.
