Authorities have identified the shooter. Police in Twin Falls, Idaho, identified the suspect as Chad Williams, a 24-year-old male.

Williams died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound near the In-N-Out Burger restaurant where the shooting occurred. Investigators believe he acted alone, though a motive for the attack is still under investigation. The shooting left three people dead (including Williams) and seven others injured.

As of Sunday afternoon, August 2, 2026, authorities have not released specific individual updates on the condition of the three patients listed in stable condition.

Police Chief Matthew Hicks confirmed the aggregate status of all seven survivors:

Two have been treated and released.

Three remain in stable condition.

Two remain in critical condition.

All victims were initially treated at St. Luke’s Magic Valley Medical Center. While one survivor, taxi driver Terry Dudley, was specifically identified by his company as having undergone surgery and being in stable condition (though later transported to a Boise hospital for internal bleeding), the identities and specific medical details of the other two stable patients have not been made public as officials continue notifying next of kin.

So...

Another GGWAG corners a shooter who then self terminates from cowardice.

I fully expect,

1. Inaccurate or absent coverage of the facts by enemedia,
2. That this won’t make the list of defensive gun usage by Americans.

I thought the video showed that an armed civilian took him out. He looked pretty impressive returning fire with that suppressed pistol.

RE: died of self-inflicted gunshot wound.

As usual, too bad he didn’t do that before killing and terrorizing the innocent people. Not after.

I thought it was a little suspicious that, after killing two people, the gunman shot up a Tesla for no particular reason.

Leftists don’t like Teslas cuz of Elon Musk.

I always tell my kids “don’t blame others for your failures. If you do you will go no further in life as all failure will be someone else’s fault, not your responsibility”
