Idaho mass shooter died from self-inflicted gunshot, police say

Aug 2 (Reuters) – The man who fatally shot three people and injured more than half a dozen others this weekend in Twin Falls, Idaho, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said on Sunday.

Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks told a press conference that the 24-year-old suspect, identified as Chad Williams, acted alone.

• Police are still working to determine Williams’ motivations and his movements leading up to the shooting in a shopping area, Hicks said.

• Seven others were injured in the incident, two of them critically, Hicks said. Two people who were treated at the hospital have been released, he said.

• After Williams started shooting, an off-duty state trooper and a member of the public actively engaged the suspect by returning gunfire, police said.
