Shortly before 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, the Twin Falls Police Department received multiple 911 calls about shots fired near the fast food restaurant, which had just opened in Twin Falls the week before.

Lynsi Snyder, the president of In-N-Out, revealed in a social media post on Sunday that one of the victims who was killed in the shooting was a restaurant employee. She didn’t share the name of the employee, but said that the restaurant “lost one of our beautiful Associates.”

“IN-N-OUT will be mourning with the families and praying for them as they tread through a very painful season,” Snyder continued.

Authorities also credited two bystanders with intervening during the shooting, saying that “their heroic actions” likely helped prevent more people from being injured in the incident.

The Twin Falls Police Department identified the suspect as a 24-year-old man named Chad Williams. While the authorities didn’t share any details about a possible motive for the shooting, they said that they “are confident the suspect acted alone.”

Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said at a press conference on Sunday that the suspect’s family was cooperating with investigators.

Who are the bystanders who intervened?

The Twin Falls Police Department said that two bystanders—an off-duty state trooper and a private citizen—”returned gunfire toward the suspect” during the shooting on Saturday. 

“We commend their heroic actions, which we believe helped drive the suspect away from the scene and prevent further casualties,” the department said in its social media post.

Salinas, who cares for his wheelchair-bound brother full-time, told the Idaho Statesman that he took firearm training seriously after a shooting occurred at the Boise Towne Square mall five years ago. He worried that shooters would target a person in a wheelchair.

“He did not like it when bullets started firing both ways,” Salinas told the Idaho Statesman.

“My part,” he recounted thinking, “is done."
