Police identified the suspect as 24‑year‑old Chad Williams, who opened fire at a recently opened In‑N‑Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho. An off‑duty state trooper and an armed citizen returned fire, subduing Williams. He died from a self‑inflicted gunshot wound after killing an employee and a customer.
Authorities believe Williams acted alone in the attack and found his body near the restaurant.
The shooting left three people dead and seven others wounded. Two of the injured victims have been released from the hospital, while three remain in stable condition and two are in critical condition.
Officials praised the actions of the off‑duty officer and the citizen, noting their intervention helped drive the suspect away and prevented additional casualties.
The situation remains developing, and updates will be provided as new information emerges.
