The Seattle Hellscape Is A Natural Setting For The Sophie Cunningham Controversy

The incident isn't a shock to anyone who lives here.

A heroic bystander jumped into the fray on Saturday, shooting back when someone opened fire in the drive-thru at an In-N-Out Burger restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho.

In video that circulated after the shooting, the gunman was walking in the drive-thru firing at cars as he approached the window. Within a few seconds, a second gun could be heard engaging the shooter, who quickly ran for cover in some nearby bushes.

Police are investigating a suspicious overnight fire at Nöam, a kosher restaurant in Montreal’s Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough, as local leaders and community members urge authorities to treat the incident as a hate crime.
