Three people were killed and five others were injured in a shooting Saturday afternoon outside an In-N-Out Burger restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho, authorities confirmed Sunday.

The suspected shooter also died in the incident, according to Twin Falls police spokesperson Joshua Palmer. It remains unclear if the deceased suspect is counted among the three fatalities.

Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks stated at a news conference Saturday evening that the motive for the shooting is still under investigation. He confirmed the suspected shooter was dead and that authorities believe there is no longer any threat to the community. Multiple individuals were transported to St. Luke’s Magic Valley Medical Center for treatment.

The incident began when police responded to a call of shots fired at the In-N-Out Burger on Blue Lakes Boulevard at 2:29 p.m. Saturday. A significant law enforcement presence from various agencies quickly converged on the scene. The restaurant is situated near a bustling shopping area, and Chief Hicks noted that the presence of potentially hundreds of people in the vicinity contributed to an exceptionally chaotic scene.

Lynsi Snyder, president of In-N-Out, issued a statement on social media expressing that an employee was among those killed. "In-N-Out will be mourning with the families and praying for them as they tread through a very painful season," she stated.

The area surrounding the In-N-Out and the Twin Falls Visitor Center remained closed Saturday evening as authorities continued to process the scene. Police were actively interviewing witnesses and appealed to the public for any information related to the shooting.

The FBI confirmed it was aware of the situation and was providing assistance to local law enforcement. Idaho Governor Brad Little had previously asked for prayers for those responding to the active shooter situation.

Twin Falls is a city with a population exceeding 56,000, located approximately 128 miles southeast of Boise. The FBI has requested that anyone with video, audio, or still images from the incident submit them to the agency to aid the investigation.
