The individual who opened fire at a Twin Falls, Idaho, In-N-Out Burger on Saturday has been identified by police as a 24-year-old man, according to reports.
Three people were killed in the attack, including one employee of the In-N-Out restaurant.
East Idaho News reported that police identified the shooter as a 24-year-old man on Sunday. They indicated that the shooter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
NBC noted that Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said law enforcement is “confident” that the 24-year-old acted alone.
Breitbart News pointed to reports that the shooter was engaged by a good guy with a gun.
KTVB spoke with a witness at the scene, Lane Koehn, who indicated seeing “a man in the In-N-Out drive-thru with a handgun who started firing at the shooter.”
He said that man “was shooting from a distance” but he believed it drew the shooter’s attention and “he might have saved lives because he distracted the shooter enough to get him to stop firing into traffic.”
