UNION, N.J. (AP) — Police say one person was shot and killed and
six others were injured in what they call a mass shooting at a
Chick-fil-A in Union, New Jersey.
Investigators do not believe the attack at about 9 p.m. Saturday
was random, according to a press release issued Sunday from the
Union County Prosecutor’s Office. No arrests have been made, but
the office said “there is no immediate ongoing threat to the
general public.”
The injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, the
release said.
A ride share driver told WABC that he heard more than seven
shots from close range as he approached the restaurant.
New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill said Sunday on social media: “Our
hearts go out to the victim’s loved ones, and we are hoping for
the full recovery of those who were injured.”
She urged people with information to contact authorities
investigating the shooting.
A spokeswoman for Chick-fil-A declined to comment, citing the
ongoing investigation.
The Homicide Task Force at the county prosecutor’s office is
investigating.
