UNION, NJ — Police said one person was shot and killed and six others were injured in what they described as a mass shooting at a Chick-fil-A in Union, New Jersey.
Investigators do not believe the attack, which occurred around 9 p.m. Saturday, was random, according to a news release issued Sunday by the Union County Prosecutor’s Office. No arrests have been made, but the office said: “There is no immediate or ongoing threat to the general public.”
The statement added that the injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
A shared driver told WABC he heard more than seven shots at close range as he approached the restaurant.
“Our hearts go out to the victim’s loved ones, and we hope for a full recovery for the injured,” New Jersey Governor Mickey Sherrill said Sunday on social media.
She urged people with information to contact authorities investigating the shooting.
A Chick-fil-A spokeswoman declined to comment, citing the ongoing investigation.
The District Attorney’s Office Homicide Task Force is investigating.
