Claim 1: “at around 3:00 p.m. local time (9:00 p.m. GMT on August 1)”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While the Wikipedia entry for '2026 Twin Falls shooting' confirms the date as August 1, 2026, none of the provided evidence (web search or Wikipedia) specifies the exact time of the incident as 3:00 p.m. local time. The provided Wikipedia results for 'Twin Falls, Idaho' and 'Twin Falls County' are general geographic/demographic entries and do not contain event timing.

Claim 2: “Three people were killed and two others were wounded in a shooting in Twin Falls, Idaho”
MISLEADING
While multiple sources confirm three people were killed in a shooting in Twin Falls, Idaho, the claim that 'two others were wounded' is contradicted by the evidence. One web source reports 7 injured, another reports 5 wounded, and the Wikipedia entry specifically states seven others were injured. The claim understates the number of casualties.
