What we know about the Idaho In-N-Out shooting victims

A 24-year-old gunman opened fire outside an In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho, on Saturday afternoon, killing three people and wounding seven others before taking his own life. The victims have been identified as Ashley Garibay, 23, a longtime In-N-Out associate; Christopher Claunch, a recovery counselor who helped others find sobriety; and Terry Dudley, a taxi driver who was charging his car after a day of work.

Ashley Garibay: A devoted In-N-Out employee

Ashley Garibay, 23, was an associate at the In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, a job she loved and where she dreamed of managing her own store one day. Her family said In-N-Out was her first job, and she proudly traveled to help open new locations. They described her as adventurous, outgoing, smart, and driven, with a bright smile and a contagious laugh that lit up any room.

“She was a friend to all,” her family said in a statement. “No matter what difficulties she was facing, she always found a way to help others find the light in the darkness.”

In-N-Out president Lynsi Snyder expressed heartbreak over Garibay’s death, saying she was taken while serving customers. Snyder called the gunman “a disgusting human” who took the lives of innocent people who “never saw it coming.”

Christopher Claunch: A guiding light in recovery

Christopher Claunch, known as “Toph,” worked at Renaissance Ranch in Rupert, Idaho, the same treatment facility where he had gotten sober. A family friend said Claunch was passionate about helping others overcome addiction, describing him as a magnet for people who society sometimes sees as “throwaways.”

“His big, open, giving heart allowed him to help so many people in a short amount of time,” said Garren Taylor, a spokesperson for the Claunch family. “Toph was the kind of guy who could open people up and share with them in a way that made a difference.”

Claunch’s partner of 25 years, Teresa Sperry, learned of his death when sheriff’s deputies arrived at her home early Sunday morning.

Terry Dudley: An unexpected end to a shift

Terry Dudley, a taxi driver, was sitting in his Tesla, charging it in anticipation of the end of his shift, when he was shot in the back near his neck. His son, Michael Dudley, said his father was simply in his car when the gunfire began.

“He was just in the car,” Michael Dudley told reporters. “He got shot, and then the car next to him was hit.”

Dudley was one of three people killed in the attack. The other seven injured were taken to local hospitals, though their conditions have not been publicly detailed.

The shooting and its aftermath

The gunman, identified as Chad Williams, opened fire Saturday afternoon outside the restaurant in Twin Falls, a town of about 50,000 people. Police said an off-duty state trooper and a civilian fired at Williams, diverting him from the restaurant. Williams then fatally shot himself.

“They engaged the suspect and prevented further loss of life,” Police Chief Travis Hughes said during a press conference.

Investigators were still working Monday to determine a possible motive, but no clear reason for the attack has been released. The shooting has left the community in shock, with memorials being set up outside the In-N-Out Burger.

As the investigation continues, the focus shifts to honoring the victims and supporting the survivors and their families. In-N-Out announced it would provide counseling for employees and has set up a fund to assist those affected.
