FBI Salt Lake City Special Agent in Charge Robert Boles said the bureau had committed its full resources to the case. "We have committed the full weight of our resources to the Twin Falls Police Department, deploying every investigative and intelligence tool at our disposal," he said, adding that evidence response teams and victim services specialists were on the ground supporting both the investigation and those affected.
The FBI also opened a digital tip line, asking members of the public to submit any photos, video, or audio recordings from the shooting to help investigators piece together what happened.
In a statement to residents, the Twin Falls Police Department sought to reassure the community that emergency services remained available despite the tragedy, even as officers from outside agencies filled in around the city.

"Even in light of yesterday's incident, we want to assure you that law enforcement services remain available to our community," the department said. "We are here if you need us."
North Star Taxi Shuts Down, Community Rallies Around Dudley
North Star Taxi, where Dudley has worked for years, posted on Facebook that it was closing for the remainder of the night and possibly the next several days. The company confirmed Dudley had survived but faced a long road ahead, and asked the community to keep him in their thoughts.

Crow set up a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the mounting cost of Dudley's hospitalization and recovery. As of this writing, it has raised more than $22,500 toward a $40,000 goal.
The fundraiser describes Dudley as a man who quietly puts others before himself, someone loyal, dependable, and devoted to raising his four children alone since being widowed. Organizers said any money raised beyond what Dudley's family needs will go toward supporting other victims and their families.
A Community Still Struggling to Process It

For both Michael Dudley and Crow, making sense of what happened has been nearly impossible. Crow told CNN he never imagined witnessing something like this in Twin Falls, a place he's always considered peaceful and far removed from the kind of violence that dominates national headlines.
"I never thought I would see this here," Crow said. Michael Dudley echoed that disbelief, telling CNN that mass shootings had always felt like distant news stories rather than something that could reach his own family.
"I was kind of in shock that it happened because while you hear about the occasional thing on the news, it all seems kind far away," he said. Asked how he felt about the man who shot his father, Michael Dudley kept his answer simple. "I'm honestly glad he's been handled and taken care of," he told NBC News.
