Police identify suspect in deadly Idaho In-N-Out shooting, say he died of self-inflicted gunshot wound

Investigators are working to determine the motive as an off-duty state trooper and an armed citizen returned fire and helped stop the attack.

  • Twin Falls Police identified the suspect as 24-year-old Chad Williams, confirming that he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound following the mass shooting at a local In-N-Out Burger.
  • Authorities stated they are confident Williams acted alone, though detectives are actively investigating his motive and noted that the suspect's family is cooperating fully.
  • The attack left three people dead and seven others injured, with casualties including at least one restaurant employee, according to a statement from In-N-Out owner Lynsi Snyder.
  • Police and local officials praised an off-duty state trooper and an armed citizen, crediting their quick intervention and returned gunfire with diverting the gunman and preventing additional deaths.
  • The FBI joined the ongoing investigation, urging the public to submit any photos or videos related to the incident at the recently opened restaurant location.
