TWIN FALLS, Idaho — Three people were killed and seven others were hurt in a shooting at an In-N-Out restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho. The alleged gunman also died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Investigators have identified the alleged shooter as Chad Williams, 24, who they believe acted alone on Aug. 1, The Associated Press reported. Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said that an off-duty state trooper and a private citizen who was also armed fired back at the gunman. “We believe their actions helped drive the suspect away from the scene, preventing further casualties,” Hicks said. “We want to take a moment and commend the actions of the off-duty officer and the citizen, and their heroic action to stop this incident.” Officials are trying to determine Williams’ motive, saying that his family is cooperating with the investigation.
