Twin Falls, Idaho Mass Shooting Claims Three Dead, Seven Injured

On August 1, 2026, a mass shooting erupted at an In‑N‑Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho. A 24‑year‑old gunman identified as Chad Williams opened fire from the drive‑through, killing three people—including employee Ashley Garibay—and wounding seven others before turning the gun on himself.

Law‑enforcement, an off‑duty state trooper, a civilian, and a local citizen, Jordan Salinas, responded. Salinas drew his semi‑automatic pistol and fired at the shooter, helping to halt the attack. Police confirmed Williams acted alone.

The Twin Falls community rallied: Chick‑fil‑A, Guppies Hot Rod Grille, Cutthroat Coffee and other local businesses offered free meals and services to emergency responders, and a fundraiser was scheduled at the Taphouse Event Center. City flags were lowered to half‑staff, and a candlelight vigil was planned for the victims' families.
