Gunman kills two in Idaho fast-food restaurant shooting

Three people have been killed and at least five others wounded after a gunman opened fire at an In-N-Out Burger restaurant in the US state of Idaho.

The gunman was among the dead following the attack in Twin Falls on Saturday afternoon, Chief of Police Matthew Hicks said.

“We believe the threat to the community is over,” Hicks said, adding that the toll was unclear and relatives were still being notified.

“It was a very chaotic scene,” he added.

Video footage aired by local media showed what appeared to be a young man with a long gun outside the In-N-Out Burger.

Other video posted on social media showed more than a dozen people running out of the restaurant.

Twin Falls is a city of about 56,000 people in southern Idaho, about 290 kilometres northwest of Salt Lake City.
