The horrific incident unfolded at an In-N-Out Burger restaurant in southern Idaho on Saturday afternoon, August 1 - it has left multiple people dead and others injured. The shooter, who was carrying an AR-style rifle, was among the dead, Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said in a news conference. The shooter’s identity and motive is not yet known. According to the Sun, at least three people have lost their lives after the shooting with at least five people injured. “We believe the threat to the community is over,” Hicks said. He added that he did not yet know exactly how many were killed or wounded, and officials were still in the process of notifying next of kin. “It was a very chaotic scene.” The city spokesperson, Josh Palmer, told NBC News that he expects "that number (those injured) to increase." Lane Koehn, 34, said he was at a stoplight near the In-N-Out when he saw a person with an AR-style rifle emerge from the drive-thru. A man with a pistol started firing at the shooter. He then saw someone in an In-N-Out uniform drag a person, also uniformed, bleeding from a gunshot wound in her chest across the parking lot. The employee, Koehn and the man with the pistol stayed until paramedics arrived for her. “She was pretty bad off, but I don’t know. I hope she made it,” Koehn said. St. Luke’s Magic Valley spokesperson Taylor Marschner said in a statement that the medical centre was “working closely with law enforcement and emergency responders as they manage the situation.” Twin Falls, a city of about 56,000 people, is about 130 miles (205 kilometers) southeast of Boise and about 75 miles (120 kilometers) north of the Nevada border. Idaho Governor Brad Little wrote on X: “Idahoans, join me in keeping the Twin Falls community in your prayers as law enforcement and first responders respond to an active shooter situation near In-N-Out. “Please avoid the area and follow directions from law enforcement as they work to keep everyone safe.”
