UNION, N.J. \u2014 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.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s Office. No arrests have been made, but the office said \u201cthere is no immediate ongoing threat to the general public.\u201d<\/p>\n
The injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, the release said.<\/p>\n
A ride share driver told WABC that he heard more than seven shots from close range as he approached the restaurant.<\/p>\n
New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill said Sunday on social media: \u201cOur hearts go out to the victim\u2019s loved ones, and we are hoping for the full recovery of those who were injured.\u201d<\/p>\n
She urged people with information to contact authorities investigating the shooting.<\/p>\n
A spokeswoman for Chick-fil-A declined to comment, citing the ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n
The Homicide Task Force at the county prosecutor\u2019s office is investigating.<\/p>\n
