A shooting at a Chick-Fil-A restaurant in Union Township, New Jersey last evening took one life and injured six others.
According to the Union County Prosecutor’s Office (UCPO), the shooting happened at approximately 9 pm on the Chick-Fil-A on Route 22 in Union. Police said they found one deceased victim and deceased six victims who were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
The prosecutor’s office headed by William A. Daniel said there is an active and ongoing investigation. “While no arrests have been made at this time, the preliminary investigation reveals this does not appear to be a random act of violence and that there is no immediate ongoing threat to the general public,” the prosecutor reported.
Union Township where the shooting occurred is a suburban community about 17 miles west of New York City and near Newark airport. There is another Union Township in western New Jersey in Hunterdon County near the Pennsylvania border.
Prosecutors encouraged the community to report any information to the UCPO or Union Police Department. Tips can also be submitted anonymously by phone at 908-654-TIPS (8477) or online at www.uctip.org; and may be eligible for a reward of up to $10,000.
