Shooting at Twin Falls In-N-Out Burger Leaves Multiple Fatalities

Authorities reported a shooting incident on Saturday afternoon at a newly opened In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho, resulting in multiple fatalities. Twin Falls Police Department Chief Matthew Hicks mentioned that while the exact number of fatalities remains unconfirmed, the suspected shooter was found dead at the scene. Local news outlet KTVB stated that three individuals were dead and two others injured.

Chief Hicks described the chaotic environment at the time of the shooting. He noted that hundreds of people present at the scene are currently being interviewed by authorities. In response to the incident, roads surrounding the restaurant were closed. This included the prominent Perrine Memorial Bridge over the Snake River. Nearby residents received orders to shelter in place.

The FBI is en route to aid local law enforcement in the ongoing investigation, according to Hicks. He assured the public, “We believe that the threat to the community is over,” adding that they are working to determine the suspect’s identity and motives.

The Twin Falls In-N-Out, the city’s only location, opened earlier this year. It was among several new locations across California, Arizona, Utah, and Tennessee. Chief Hicks referred to the restaurant as being “one of the busiest locations in all of Southern Idaho.” Since the incident, the In-N-Out website lists this location as temporarily closed.
