A shooting at an In-N-Out restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho, has left three people dead and at least five wounded. The incident occurred on a Saturday evening, and police have yet to release the identity of the suspect or a motive for the attack.
One of the victims was a female In-N-Out employee, according to the company's president. The president expressed grief and outrage over the loss of life, describing the killer as a "disgusting human who doesn't value the lives of others or his own."
An armed bystander attempted to stop the gunman by firing back at him. The bystander, who has been identified as Jordan Salinas, was seen on video shooting at the gunman with his pistol and taking cover in the bushes as the gunman returned fire.
Salinas's actions have been widely praised, with many hailing him as a hero for fighting back against the gunman. Video footage from the scene shows Salinas, wearing a cowboy hat, exchanging gunfire with the suspect.
The shooting has sent shockwaves through the community, with the In-N-Out president offering condolences to the families of the victims and promising to support them during this difficult time. The president also urged those affected by the tragedy to turn to God for comfort and strength.
Witnesses described the chaotic scene, with one bystander reporting that the suspect walked from a white vehicle to another vehicle with a pistol in his hand and fired a shot. The suspect's motives and identity remain unclear, and the investigation is ongoing.
Salinas's social media profiles have been scrutinized, revealing a patriotic individual who exercises his right to bear arms. A recent post from July 5, 2026, shows Salinas shooting an automatic rifle while clad in military gear, with American flags on his SUV.
The community is still reeling from the aftermath of the shooting, with many struggling to come to terms with the senseless loss of life. As the investigation continues, authorities are working to piece together the events surrounding the tragedy and provide support to those affected.
