  • Chad Williams, 24, was named as the shooter who killed himself after carrying out the attack. His family is cooperating with the investigation, Police Chief Matthew Hicks said.

  • An off-duty state trooper and a civilian intervened by firing at the attacker, police said, which diverted him from the restaurant.
  • An In-N-Out employee was among those killed, the fast-food chain’s owner, Lynsi Snyder, said in a statement. The restaurant had just opened July 24 as part of the California chain's Idaho expansion.
