What We Know About the Suspected Idaho In-N-Out Shooter—and the Bystanders Credited With Distracting Him
Authorities commended two bystanders for intervening during the shooting, saying that “their heroic actions” likely helped prevent more people from being injured in the incident.
On Saturday, a shooting occurred at an In-N-Out Burger restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho, resulting in three deaths and seven injuries. The suspect, identified as 24-year-old Chad Williams, took his own life shortly after the shooting. Two bystanders, an off-duty state trooper and a private citizen, were credited with intervening during the incident by returning gunfire toward the shooter, helping to prevent further casualties.
The identities of the victims have not been released at this time, pending notification of their families. Lynsi Snyder, the president of In-N-Out, expressed condolences for the loss of one of their associates and the customers who were killed in the shooting, emphasizing that the attacker did not value the lives of others or his own.
