Gunman among several dead in shooting at Idaho In-N-Out Burger restaurant

A gunman killed three people and injured seven others, some critically, in a shooting at an In-N-Out Burger restaurant in southern Idaho on Saturday afternoon. Police found the suspected gunman's body in an area near the restaurant but it is unclear if he was included in the fatality count. Officials were still notifying the families of victims and had not released their names, ages, or other details.

Some of the injured are in critical condition, and police are still trying to determine the shooter's identity and motive. Police Chief Matthew Hicks said the threat to the community was over, describing the scene as chaotic. Witnesses reported seeing a person with an AR-style rifle emerge from the drive-through, and another man with a pistol started firing at the shooter.

One witness, Lane Koehn, saw an employee drag a person bleeding from a gunshot wound across the parking lot. The restaurant, which opened recently as part of the company's expansion to Idaho, was in a busy shopping plaza with hundreds of people present at the time of the shooting.
