A gunman killed three people and wounded others in a shooting at an In-N-Out restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho, on Saturday before fatally shooting himself, police said.
Police identified the gunman Sunday as Chad Williams, 24.
The circumstances of the shooting, which occurred at around 2:30 p.m. Saturday, as well as a possible motive remained under investigation, Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said Sunday at a news conference.
\u201cWe are that confident Mr. Williams acted alone,\u201d Hicks said.
Police responded to the area of the restaurant, known for its burgers and milkshakes, after multiple 911 calls were made reporting gunfire at around 2:29 p.m., Hicks said.
\u201cDispatchers could hear screaming and reports of gunshots in the background,\u201d he said.
In addition to the three victims killed, seven others were injured, two of whom remained in critical condition Sunday, Hicks said.
Police did not release the identities of the victims who were killed because family notifications were being made, he said.
Lynsi Snyder, the president of In-N-Out Burger, said a worker was among those killed.
\u201cShe was taking care of our most important asset \u2014 our customers, and her life was taken by a disgusting human who doesn\u2019t value the lives of others or his own,\u201d Snyder said. She added: \u201cHe shot both on our property and off and ended his life shortly after he took the precious lives of our associate and customers, innocent people who never saw it coming.\u201d
City, county and state authorities responded to the restaurant on Blue Lakes Boulevard North after reports of an active shooter, police said.
The area is also the location of multiple major retailers and a movie theater complex. Hicks said hundreds of potential witnesses were expected to be interviewed.
An armed bystander and an off-duty state police officer who happened to be there returned fire at the shooter<\/a>, which Hicks called heroic actions that drove the gunman away and likely prevented more casualties.
A shelter-in-place order was issued for the area, which was later lifted. A nearby Chick-fil-A said it was closing Saturday as a precaution.
\u201cOut of an abundance of caution, Chick-fil-A Twin Falls will be closed for the remainder of today,\u201d the restaurant said.
Magic Valley Mall nearby was closed and people inside were told to stay put, a public safety employee there said earlier Saturday afternoon.
The In-N-Out location, the fourth in Idaho, opened July 24, according to a news release from the California-based chain.
Haley Dodaro was approaching the In-N-Out location to get lunch with her mother on Saturday just after the shooting happened. She told NBC News that they were circling the buildings to get into the drive-thru at the time when she saw people running across the road.
Video recorded by Dodaro showed a woman with two children running and apparently urging them to call the police. She and her mother asked what was happening through an open car window and a man in a yellow reflective vest responded, \u201cShoot, shoot.\u201d
\u201cSo that\u2019s when we knew there was a shooting,\u201d Dodaro said. \u201cPeople were running out crying and screaming. It was very scary and terrifying.\u201d
