Two people were killed and five others wounded on Saturday in a shooting at a new branch of the American fast-food chain In-N-Out in Twin Falls, Idaho. The gunman opened fire inside the restaurant and in the adjacent parking lot, then took his own life, according to police. The shooting began inside the restaurant, which had opened only a week earlier, and continued in the parking lot. Footage from the scene shows the gunman moving between vehicles and firing, while bystanders flee in panic. Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said the danger to the public has passed and that investigators are working to identify the shooter and determine the motive. One eyewitness told the Associated Press that he saw a man with a rifle emerge from the drive-thru area, and then another man, armed with a handgun, shooting at him. The witness described how a restaurant employee rushed to help a female worker who was shot in the chest and dragged her out of harm's way. Several people stayed with her until emergency crews arrived. In a video taken from a nearby car, the gunman is seen standing between two cars, aiming his rifle at one and firing twice. Another video shows people running across the road as gunshots are heard in the background. Following the incident, roads in the area were closed, businesses and a nearby mall were placed on lockdown, and the local hospital urged the public not to come unless in emergencies.
