Drive-Thru Gunfire Stuns In-N-Out Crowd

Newly released surveillance video shows the Twin Falls In-N-Out Burger attack in grim detail, including the moment a gunman fired through a drive-thru window before killing three people and wounding seven others.

Quick Take

Police say Chad Williams, 24, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after the attack.
Authorities said there is no ongoing threat to the public.
Video released Friday shows shots fired through the drive-thru window and outside the restaurant.
Investigators still have not publicly identified a motive.

Surveillance Video Shows the Attack

Police and media accounts say the video shows Williams walking up to the drive-thru window several times and firing at victims inside and outside the restaurant. The Associated Press said the footage captures a gunman killing one of the victims through the window before shooting more people outside the fast-food chain restaurant.

The attack happened at an In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho, and quickly turned a routine lunch stop into a mass-casualty scene. Local authorities said three people were killed and seven were injured, while the suspect was found dead nearby after officers responded to an active shooter call.

Police Say the Suspect Acted Alone

Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said investigators believe Williams acted alone and still have no known motive for the shooting. Police also warned the public about misinformation spreading online in the hours after the attack, including false claims about the shooter’s identity.

That warning fits a pattern that often follows mass-violence cases. Early reports can vary while officials sort facts from rumor, and social media clips often race ahead of confirmed information. In this case, that confusion included shifting casualty counts and recycled footage before police settled the basic timeline.

Victims, Response, and What Comes Next

Police later identified the three people killed as Ashley Garibay, 23, of Stockton, California; Dale Schultz, 66, of Salt Lake City; and Christopher Claunch, 59, of Hagerman, Idaho. Officials said the public safety threat ended once Williams was confirmed dead, and the area was secured for investigators and first responders.

The case has also put a human face on the split-second choices made during public attacks. Reporting from the scene says armed bystanders and an off-duty officer returned fire and helped push the gunman away from the restaurant, which police credited with preventing more deaths. Even with those actions, the shooting left families grieving, workers shaken, and a community waiting for answers that investigators have not yet provided.
