PRESS RELEASE / PUBLIC SAFETY UPDATE

Today at approximately 2:29 PM, officers with the Twin Falls Police Department, along with law enforcement partners from surrounding agencies, responded to the area of In-N-Out Burger for a report of an active shooter.

Multiple individuals have been transported to St. Luke’s Magic Valley Medical Center. Tragically, there have been fatalities. We are currently working to notify next of kin, and additional details will be released when appropriate.

The suspect in this incident is deceased, and there is no ongoing threat to the public at this time. There is a lot of misinformation going around on social media about the shooter and their identity. We would ask that people refrain from sharing information in an attempt to not share misinformation.

The area around In-N-Out Burger and the Twin Falls Visitor Center remains closed while law enforcement and first responders continue to secure and process the scene. We ask the public to please avoid the area and allow emergency personnel to continue their work.

The Perrine Bridge has reopened to traffic entering and leaving Twin Falls.

Anyone with information related to this incident who has not already spoken with law enforcement is asked to contact dispatch at 208-735-4357.

We would like to thank all the first responders who responded to this incident and continue to assist with the investigation, including law enforcement, fire, EMS, medical personnel, dispatchers, and our partner agencies. Their professionalism, coordination, and dedication are greatly appreciated.

We appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation during this difficult and evolving situation. Additional updates will be provided as information becomes available.

🌊🐾 **A Much-Needed Break!** 🐾🌊

Today, K9 Bailey got a well-deserved break to cool off in Payette Lake. This was her very first dip, and it was awesome to watch her explore the water!

As we enjoy the beautiful days of summer, it reminded us of an important lesson:
**Dogs only see and experience what we show them.** It’s our responsibility to introduce them to new environments and experiences, while also ensuring they get the breaks they need, especially in the heat.

Here are a few reminders for fellow fur baby owners:

💦 **Hydration is Key:** Always have fresh water available, especially on warm days.
😎 **Cool Off Breaks:** Regularly pause for your pup to rest and cool down.
🛟**Safety First:** Keep an eye on them near water and ensure they’re comfortable.

Let’s give our furry friends the adventures they deserve while keeping their well-being in mind! 🐶❤️

Have you taken your dog on any fun adventures lately? Share your experiences!

Proud of the work these K9 teams bring to their communities!
