Police have unveiled the identity of the individual accused of the shooting at the newly opened In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho. On Saturday, 24-year-old Chad Williams was identified as the suspect who opened fire. During the incident, an off-duty state trooper and an armed citizen took swift action by returning fire and managing to subdue Williams.
Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks reported that Williams died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after killing an employee and a customer. Authorities have determined that Williams acted alone and was found deceased near the restaurant premises.
We want to take a moment and commend the actions of the off-duty officer and the citizen and their heroic action to stop this incident,
Hicks stated during a Sunday news conference. We believe their actions helped drive the suspect away from the scene, preventing further casualties.
Three fatalities occurred, including the suspect, with seven others injured in the shootout, as detailed by city spokesperson Josh Palmer. Of the injured, two victims have been discharged from medical facilities, while three remain stable, and two are in critical condition.
