Police identified the man accused of opening fire Saturday at a recently opened In-N-Out Burger location in Twin Falls, Idaho, revealing he was subdued by an off-duty state trooper and an armed citizen who returned fire during the shooting.
The suspected gunman, identified as Chad Williams, 24, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after fatally shooting an employee and a customer, according to Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks.
Authorities believe Williams acted alone in the attack. He was found dead near the restaurant.
“We want to take a moment and commend the actions of the off-duty officer and the citizen and their heroic action to stop this incident,” Hicks said during a news conference Sunday. “We believe their actions helped drive the suspect away from the scene, preventing further casualties.”
