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
