Ten people were shot — inside the restaurant, directly outside, on an adjacent busy road and at a car charging station in a Twin Falls visitors center lot, Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said.

Authorities released the names of the people who died when the 24-year-old gunman opened fire at the Twin Falls restaurant.

Police identified those killed as Ashley Garibay, 23, from Stockton, Calif.; Dale Schultz, 66, of Salt Lake City, Utah; and Christopher Claunch, 59, of Hagerman, Idaho.

The attack at the In-N-Out Burger ended when the gunman, identified by police as Chad Williams, shot and killed himself.

Hicks said investigators still don’t have a motive for the shooting.
