A gunman armed with an AR-style rifle opened fire at an In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, southern Idaho, killing multiple people, including himself, and injuring several others. Police Chief Matthew Hicks said the threat to the community had ended, but the shooter’s identity and motive remained unknown and authorities were still confirming the casualty count and notifying families. Witnesses described customers and employees fleeing, while police, emergency responders and St. Luke’s Magic Valley coordinated the response. Idaho officials urged residents to avoid the area, where roads were closed and investigators were collecting witness information.

A major incident was declared after a large, wind-driven wildfire broke out at Dunwich Heath on the Suffolk coast near Leiston. Around 90 firefighters were working to contain the blaze, which was moving towards St James’ Church, while the public was urged to avoid the area and keep windows and doors closed. The fire occurred amid an amber heat-health alert covering eastern and southeastern England. Separately, firefighters in Scotland reported progress in controlling a long-running Cairngorms wildfire, though the risk of flare-ups remained high and the fire had caused extensive damage to wildlife habitat and local woodland.
