Three people are dead after an active shooter went on a rampage at an In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, ID, about two hours from Boise.
NBC News obtained “dramatic new video appearing to show a man holding an assault type weapon near a car outside the building.”
Correspondent Valerie Castro reported from Twin Falls:
The spokesperson for the Twin Falls Police Department tells NBC News three people are dead and at least two others are injured.
He also tells us there is currently no search for a suspect, but it is unclear if a suspect is among the dead.
This all took place in the area of an In-N-Out restaurant, which announced it will remain closed for the rest of the day.
Police issued public safety announcements shortly after this all happened, asking people to stay away from the area.
Videos posted to social media show people running through parking lots and screaming.
Other video appears to show a man with a firearm.
We also have heard audio from emergency dispatchers saying that they are being inundated with 911 calls and hearing, quote, “Reports of multiple people down.”
KTVB7 in Twin Falls reported that the two injured were being treated at St.
Luke’s Magic Valley Medical Center, and that the shelter-in-place order has been lifted.
Fox News later reported on Saturday afternoon:
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.
“What I can tell you at this time is that we’ve had a shooting at the In-N-Out location that has resulted in fatalities,” Hicks said during a news conference.
“I don’t have the exact number confirmed.
We’re still trying to make notification of their next of kin.”
