The suspected shooter is also dead, according to Twin Falls Police. Authorities have not yet released the suspect’s identity or specified the cause of death.

In-N-Out Owner RespondsAt least one of the victims was an In-N-Out employee. In-N-Out owner Lynsi Snyder expressed her heartbreak on social media following the tragedy.
“We lost one of our beautiful Associates tonight. She was taking care of our most important asset – our Customers, and her life was taken by a disgusting human who doesn’t value the lives of others or his own,” wrote Snyder. “…IN-N-OUT will be mourning with the families and praying for them as they tread through a very painful season. I am no stranger to loss, but this is so incredibly tough, and my heart also goes out to all of the Associates and Customers who were there during this traumatic event.”
Snyder expressed her love for the entire community, asking them to “turn to God, not in anger, but seeking comfort and strength for those who are hurting.”
“We will stand together, and we will do everything we can to learn from this situation,” wrote Snyder.
