At least three people were killed and two others were injured in a shooting Saturday afternoon at an In-N-Out Burger restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho, according to police.

Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said the suspected shooter is dead and the threat to the community is over. 'We believe the threat to the community is over,' Hicks said.

Joshua Palmer, a public information coordinator for the city of Twin Falls, said the number of victims is expected to increase. He also cautioned that there was a lot of misinformation on social media.

3 dead

At least three people were killed in the shooting, with two others injured.

Twin Falls County Commissioner Brent Reinke said Sheriff Jack Johnson told him five people were hurt.

Lane Koehn, a 34-year-old witness, said he saw a person with an AR-style rifle emerge from the drive-thru and a man with a pistol fire at the shooter. He also said he saw an In-N-Out employee drag a bleeding person across the parking lot.

Idaho Governor Brad Little wrote on X asking Idahoans to join him in keeping the Twin Falls community in their prayers. Idaho Attorney General Raúl R. Labrador also wrote on X that he was praying for everyone in Twin Falls and urged people to stay away from the area.

Taylor Marschner, a spokesperson for St. Luke's Magic Valley medical centre, said the centre was working closely with law enforcement and emergency responders.

The shooter entered the restaurant with a semi-automatic rifle and later ended his own life with his own weapon, according to reports. However, US sources have only confirmed the shooter was found dead, and the details of the weapon have come from a witness who reported seeing an AR-style rifle.

Twin Falls is a city of about 56,000 people, located approximately 130 miles southeast of Boise and 75 miles north of the Nevada border. claim:11
