By EMMA RICHTER, US SENIOR NEWS REPORTER Published: 06:55, 3 August 2026 | Updated: 06:58, 3 August 2026 The heartbroken sister of a man who was killed in the In-N-Out rampage shared a crushing tribute as two injured victims have been named. Christopher Claunch, who worked at Renaissance Ranch Recovery Center, died from his injuries after gunshots rang out around 2.30pm on Saturday, his sister, Kimberly Castaneda, told The New York Times. The shooter, Chad Williams, 24, fired an AK-style rifle at several innocent customers and employees at the Twin Falls location, police said. Williams turned the gun on himself and died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Claunch, 59, was from California, but lived in Idaho for about three decades, Castaneda said. He had been sober for two years and also struggled with the loss of his first wife, who died in a car crash three months after they got married, she said. So when an In-N-Out opened up in the state, he was thrilled to stop by and get the Pacific Coast classic take-out, she shared. But, according to Castaneda, he had told her that he would wait for the hype at the new location to settle down. The location opened its doors on July 24. Christopher Claunch, 59, died in the horrific In-N-Out shooting in Twin Falls, Idaho on Saturday afternoon, his sister has revealed The location just opened its doors on July 24 in Twin Falls Steven Pixley was riding his motorcycle past the restaurant when he was struck by a bullet on Saturday afternoon as shots rang out at the In-N-Out in Twin Falls, Idaho 'You have no idea how surprised I was when I found out he was there,' Castaneda recalled to the outlet. A female restaurant employee who has not yet been identified and another person lost their lives in the rampage. Seven others were injured in the rampage. Police have not publicly identified any victims, but several online fundraisers have been shared since the tragedy. Steven Pixley was riding his motorcycle past the restaurant when he was struck by a bullet, a GoFundMe page detailed. He rushed to surgery at a local hospital before being transferred to a medical center in Boise after being shot in the elbow, it read. 'He was minding his own business and suffered a tragedy that will affect him for a long time—mentally, physically, and emotionally,' the fundraiser added. Another victim, Terry Dudley, was shot twice in the back while he charged his Tesla, a fundraiser stated. His job, North Star Taxi, also confirmed he was hurt in the shooting in a Facebook post on Sunday. Another victim, Terry Dudley, was shot twice in the back while he charged his Tesla in the parking lot Chad Williams, 24, fired an AK-style rifle at several innocent customers and employees before turning the gun on himself, police said 'Our driver Terry Dudley was the victim of a mass shooting Saturday,' the business revealed, adding that he 'has a very long road ahead of him.' After the tragedy, Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks praised two men, an unnamed off-duty state trooper and an armed citizen who has been identified as Jordan Salinas, 35, for intervening during the incident. The men both fired shots at the gunman and ultimately stopped Williams from killing others, Hicks said. 'We want to take a moment and commend the actions of the off-duty officer and the citizen and their heroic action to stop this incident,' Hicks said during a press conference on Sunday. 'We believe their actions helped drive the suspect away from the scene, preventing further casualties.' Salinas told the Idaho Statesman he has been receiving self-defense training for five years, following the deadly Boise Towne Square Mall shooting that left two dead and four others injured. Lane Koehn told NBC News that he saw Salinas shooting at Williams. He rushed to the restaurant's drive-thru and fired shots. The motive behind the attack remains unclear 'I could tell he was trying to figure out where to go, and somebody in the drive-thru line with a handgun was shooting at him,' Koehn recalled. He said the shooter was 'panicked' and acting 'kind of erratically,' but the armed civilian distracted him from causing more carnage. 'The shooter was solely focused on him, and [it] allowed us to get out. I mean, the car directly ahead of me was getting shot - it gave them time to leave,' he added. In a statement on Sunday, In-N-Out President Lynsi Snyder shared that a 'beautiful' restaurant employee, whom she did not name, died in the tragedy. 'My heart is broken, my chest is heavy, my eyes burn from the tears I've shed,' Snyder said in a statement. An armed civilian, later identified as Jordan Salinas (far left), 35, pulled a gun on the shooter and fired shots at him during the rampage 'We lost one of our beautiful Associates tonight. She was taking care of our most important asset - our Customers, and her life was taken by a disgusting human who doesn't value the lives of others or his own.' 'He shot both on our property and off, and ended his life shortly after he took the precious lives of our Associate and Customers, innocent people who never saw it coming,' Snyder added. The motive behind the attack remains unclear.المصدر: Daily Mail | Source: Daily Mail
