Multiple people were killed in a shooting at an In-N-Out Burger restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho , on Saturday, police said. 
Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said multiple law enforcement agencies responded to what he described as a "very chaotic" active shooter scene. 
Hicks confirmed there were multiple fatalities, including the suspected gunman, but said authorities were still working to notify victims' next of kin before releasing an exact death toll. 
He added that several other people were being treated for injuries at a local hospital. 
"What I can tell you at this time is that we've had a shooting at the In-N-Out location that has resulted in fatalities," Hicks said during a news conference. 
"I don't have the exact number confirmed. 
We're still trying to make notification of their next of kin." 
Authorities have not released the suspected shooter's identity or determined a motive. 
"We believe that the threat to the community is over," Hicks said. 
"The suspected shooter in this incident is deceased. 
He was nearby on the scene, and we are working to ascertain his identity and the motivations behind that." 
Police said officers responded to reports of an active shooter at about 2:30 p.m. 
"Our department is responding to an active shooter incident in the area of In-N-Out," the Twin Falls Police Department said in an earlier statement. 
"We are asking all residents and visitors to avoid the area so officers and first responders can work safely." 
Idaho Gov. 
Brad Little urged residents to keep the community in their prayers as law enforcement responded. 
"Idahoans, join me in keeping the Twin Falls community in your prayers as law enforcement and first responders respond to an active shooter situation near In-N-Out," Little wrote on X. 
"Please avoid the area and follow directions from law enforcement as they work to keep everyone safe." 
Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador said he was monitoring the situation. 
"Praying for everyone in Twin Falls as first responders continue searching for the suspect near In-N-Out," Labrador wrote on X before police confirmed the suspected gunman was dead. 
"Twin Falls Police, Idaho State Police, and fire and paramedic crews remain on scene working to secure the area," he added. 
"If you're in the area, please listen to local authorities and stay away from In-N-Out and the surrounding streets so first responders can do their jobs."
