Who is Jordan Salinas, ‘hero’ bystander who confronted Idaho shooter?
Suspected attacker, identified as 24-year-old Chad Williams, killed at least three people in the US on Saturday.
On Saturday, a gunman opened fire at an In-N-Out restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho, resulting in the deaths of three individuals and injuries to seven others, before ultimately taking his own life, according to police. Chad Williams, the 24-year-old shooter, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, confirmed Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks.
The motive behind the attack remains under investigation, with Williams' relatives assisting law enforcement officers. Investigators are confident that Williams acted alone, with no evidence of accomplices. The incident unfolded shortly before 2:30 pm local time, with bystanders fleeing as gunshots rang out, as seen in shared video footage.
Upon arrival, an off-duty law enforcement officer and a bystander exchanged gunfire with the suspect, driving him from the scene and preventing additional casualties. Two victims received medical treatment and were discharged from St. Luke's Magic Valley Medical Center, while two others remain in critical condition, and three are in stable condition.
In-N-Out president Lynsi Snyder confirmed that a female employee was among the fatalities, expressing her grief over the loss. FBI agents joined the local inquiry, encouraging the public to submit any related images or videos to assist the investigation.
