Police are still working to determine why a 24-year-old gunman opened fire at a crowded In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho, killing three people and wounding seven others before taking his own life after taking fire from a bystander and an off-duty Idaho state trooper.

Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said Sunday that investigators were confident Chad Williams acted alone in Saturday's attack, but detectives had not yet established a motive or fully traced his movements before the shooting.

"We believe their actions helped drive the suspect away from the scene, preventing further casualties," Hicks said of an armed citizen and officer who returned fire.

"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."
