The shooter was also among the dead, Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said, adding that authorities were still working to identify the gunman and determine a motive, reported Reuters.
"We believe the threat to the community is over," Hicks told reporters. However, he said officials were still determining the exact number of people killed or injured and were in the process of notifying next of kin.
"It was a very chaotic scene," he added.
The shooting was reported at around 2.30 pm local time near the popular restaurant in a high-traffic commercial district. About an hour later, authorities said the shooter was "no longer a threat."
