Idaho Shooting: Man Exchanged Fire With In-N-Out Gunman, Witness Says
A witness said an armed bystander exchanged gunfire with the suspect during the deadly Idaho In-N-Out shooting.
In Twin Falls, Idaho, a man with an AR-style rifle engaged in gunfire with another individual during a shooting at an In-N-Out Burger restaurant on Saturday, according to an eyewitness. Lane Koehn, a 34-year-old construction worker, saw the shooter emerge near the drive-thru before the man with the pistol intervened. Koehn described the gunman as panicking and firing randomly, forcing him to take cover.
An older man also joined the confrontation by drawing a handgun, which appeared to compel the shooter to seek shelter. Koehn subsequently drove into the In-N-Out parking lot to assist an injured employee and two other bystanders. In-N-Out reported that one employee was killed while the gunman took his own life. The police confirmed three fatalities and at least seven injuries.
The motive is under investigation, and authorities found the suspect dead. Police urged the public to refrain from sharing misinformation regarding the incident.
