3 killed, 7 injured in shooting at In-N-Out in Idaho, police say
Suspect Chad Williams, 24, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, say police. Three people were killed and another seven were injured when a gunman opened fire outside an In-N-Out Burger restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho, on Saturday, authorities told ABC News on Sunday. The suspected shooter, whom officials identified as 24-year-old Chad Williams, died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound after being confronted by an armed off-duty Idaho state trooper and a private citizen, Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said at a news conference on Sunday. "We believe these actions drove the suspect from the scene and prevented further casualties," Hicks said of the off-duty trooper and private citizen's actions. Five of the seven injured victims remained hospitalized on Sunday afternoon, including two in critical condition, according to Hicks. A motive for the shooting remains under investigation.
