Fact check: No evidence Chad Williams’ social media deleted
Chad Williams was identified as the mass shooting suspect who killed three in Twin Falls, Idaho, on Saturday; he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, per Police Chief Mathew Hicks.
Viral claims said Williams' social media was scrubbed before his identity was revealed, but HT.com found no evidence or confirmed reports supporting this.
Chief Hicks confirmed that one of the individuals falsely identified as the shooter had 'no involvement in this incident whatsoever.'
The Twin Falls Police stated Williams 'acted alone' and his parents were cooperating in the probe to determine the motive.
