However, he said officials were still determining the exact number of people killed or injured and were in the process of notifying next of kin.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>&#8220;It was a very chaotic scene,&#8221; he added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>The shooting was reported at around 2.30 pm local time near the popular restaurant in a high-traffic commercial district. About an hour later, authorities said the shooter was &#8220;no longer a threat.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Twin Falls public information coordinator Josh Palmer confirmed to Reuters that three people had died and at least two others were injured and that the gunman was among those killed.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>The shooting unfolded near a busy shopping area crowded with people at the time. Police interviewed witnesses and urged anyone with information to contact investigators.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>Eyewitness Lane Koehn, 34, said he was stopped at a traffic light near the restaurant when he saw a person carrying an AR-style rifle emerge from the drive-thru. He said another man armed with a pistol began firing at the suspect.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>Koehn said he later saw an In-N-Out employee dragging a wounded co-worker, who had been shot in the chest, across the parking lot. <!-- -->&#8220;She was pretty bad off, but I don&#8217;t know. I hope she made it,&#8221; Koehn said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>He added that police ordered people to evacuate as the shooting was still active and that it did not appear the gunman was targeting anyone in particular.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Another witness, Haley Dodaro, who was waiting in the drive-thru with her mother, said they initially thought there had been a fire before realising there was an active shooter.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>&#8220;So that&#8217;s when we knew there was a shooting. People were running out crying and screaming. <!-- -->It was very scary,&#8221; Dodaro told The Associated Press in a text message.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>Twin Falls County Commissioner Brent Reinke said Sheriff Jack Johnson initially informed him that five people had been hurt, though officials later said they were still verifying the casualty count.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>Authorities closed roads and a nearby bridge in the immediate aftermath of the shooting as multiple law enforcement agencies responded. St. Luke&#8217;s Magic Valley medical centre said it was working closely with emergency responders.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>Twin Falls, a city of about 56,000 people, is located around 130 miles southeast of Boise in Idaho&#8217;s Magic Valley region.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"41\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
