Chad Williams dies after opening fire at Idaho fast-food restaurant, killing three people

Chad Williams, a 24-year-old student, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after opening fire at an In-N-Out Burger location in Twin Falls, Idaho. The shooting resulted in three deaths and seven injuries, including a critical injury to taxi driver Terry Dudley. Police Chief Matthew Hicks stated that an armed bystander and an off-duty state trooper confronted the gunman, which likely prevented further casualties. Witness Lane Koehn reported that the shooter appeared panicked and erratic, and the bystander's presence forced the gunman to focus on him, allowing others to escape. The suspect, who previously served as a student senator at the College of Southern Idaho, was impeached from his role in February 2023. Investigators are currently working to determine a motive for the shooting. The FBI is assisting local law enforcement and has requested the public to submit any media captured during the incident.
