Twin Falls, Idaho \u2013 Three people have been killed and seven others wounded after a gunman opened fire at an In-N-Out Burger restaurant in the US state of Idaho.<\/p>\n

The gunman was among the dead following the attack in Twin Falls on Saturday afternoon, Chief of Police Matthew Hicks said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe the threat to the community is over,\u201d Hicks said, adding that the toll was unclear and relatives were still being notified.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a very chaotic scene,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

A witness, Lane Koehn, said he was at a stoplight near the restaurant when he saw someone armed with an AR-style rifle exit the drive-through and then be fired upon by a man with a pistol.<\/p>\n

He also saw an employee drag a woman with a gunshot wound to the chest to safety, where they waited for paramedics.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was pretty bad off, but I don\u2019t know. I hope she made it,\u201d Koehn said.<\/p>\n

City spokesperson Josh Palmer said investigators believed there was one attacker and were working to identify him and determine whether others were involved.<\/p>\n

Idaho Senator Mike Crapo said he was \u201cgrateful for the swift response of Idaho\u2019s first responders\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fatalities reported after gunman opens fire at In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho.
