Multiple people were killed in a shooting at an In-N-Out Burger restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho, on Saturday, police said.
Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said multiple law enforcement agencies responded to what he described as a “very chaotic” active shooter scene.
Hicks confirmed there were multiple fatalities, including the suspected gunman, but said authorities were still working to notify victims’ next of kin before releasing an exact death toll. He added that several other people were being treated for injuries at a local hospital.
