Twin Falls police release new surveillance footage of In-N-Out shooting

Twin Falls police released edited surveillance footage of the mass shooting that occurred Saturday at an In-N-Out restaurant in the city. The video, compiled from multiple cameras and accompanied by a law-enforcement voice-over, was shown at a press conference on Friday.

The 24-year-old suspect, identified as Chad Williams, arrived in a white Honda Civic, opened the drive-through window and shot employee Ashley Garibay, 23, who later died. He then exited his vehicle and killed Christopher Claunch, who was seated in his car. Former police officer Austin James ran toward Williams and was wounded but survived.

According to the footage, Williams’ handgun jammed, prompting him to retrieve a rifle from his car. An off-duty Idaho State Police trooper, whose name was not released, helped evacuate patrons and engaged the shooter inside the restaurant. Several employees were shown crawling to escape, and Williams fired at fleeing patrons in the parking lot before exchanging gunfire with the trooper.

The gunman later moved to the street, firing at stopped vehicles and striking three people, including Dale Schultz, 66, who later died. He also fired at Tesla vehicles at a nearby charging station and entered the Twin Falls Visitor’s Center, where additional people were hiding. A local employee who confronted Williams was credited by police for helping others escape.

Body-camera footage captured officers confronting the suspect, with one officer shouting, “Hey! Show me your hands!” before Williams fatally shot himself and fell into a canyon.

Police said no motive has been identified and there is no evidence of a second shooter. Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks expressed condolences to victims and their families.

In-N-Out president Lynsi Snyder condemned the attack, describing the shooter’s actions as “disgusting” and noting the loss of “innocent people who never saw it coming.”
