At least three people were killed and two others were injured in a mass shooting at an In-N-Out in Twin Falls, Idaho, on Saturday, according to police and local officials.
The suspected shooter, whose identity has not been revealed, is dead, Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said during a press conference.
The number of victims is expected to increase, Joshua Palmer, a public information coordinator for the city, told The Independent.
“We want to emphasize that that number may change,” Palmer said. “That was just the first number we got.”
An “active shooter incident” was first reported at 2:29 p.m. Soon afterward, police urged people to avoid the area, noting that roads in the area would be closed, as officers responded.
Shelter in place orders have since been lifted, Palmer said.
