Three killed, two injured in Twin Falls active shooter incident

Three people were killed and two others were injured after police responded to an active shooter incident near an In-N-Out Burger and other businesses in Twin Falls, Idaho. A city spokesperson said the shooting unfolded Saturday afternoon, and the Twin Falls Police Department was among the agencies on scene.

Police described the situation as an “active shooter incident,” and officers moved quickly to secure the area around the restaurant and nearby commercial properties. The scene drew a law-enforcement news conference later in the day as officials updated the public on the latest developments.

The toll rose to three dead and two injured in the hours after the shooting, according to local coverage. The names of the victims were not released in the available information, and officials did not provide a suspect name or describe a motive.

The attack added another violent episode to a city that had already seen a separate fatal shooting in recent weeks. On July 23, KMVT reported that a man had died and a woman had been taken to the hospital after another shooting in Twin Falls, a case that underscored the strain on local law enforcement and the community.

Twin Falls sits in southern Idaho and has a busy retail corridor where national chains and local businesses draw steady traffic. The shooting near the In-N-Out Burger turned that commercial stretch into an active crime scene, forcing police to treat the area as a public safety emergency while investigators worked to establish what happened and who was responsible.

As of the latest available information, authorities had not publicly identified the shooter, named the victims, or confirmed a motive. The investigation remained centered on the scene near the restaurant and surrounding businesses, where officers continued sorting out the sequence of events that left three people dead and two more wounded.
