One person has been killed and multiple people injured during a mass shooting at a New Jersey Chick-fil-A.
The horror unfolded at the restaurant in Union Township on Saturday night, sending terrified patrons scrambling and the business into lockdown.
At least six people were shot after gunfire erupted at around 8.40pm inside the crowded establishment, according to RLS Media.
A local living a block away told the Daily Mail that they could hear 'a ruckus' as well as sirens blaring hours after the shooting ended.
The father of a Chick-fil-A worker said his son told him multiple armed suspects in masks burst into the fast food chain.
The anonymous father described the busy eatery as a 'warzone' and said several of his son's co-workers had been injured.
Another man whose girlfriend works at the restaurant told CBS that the group of suspects barged in and went directly behind the counter, firing multiple shots.
A Lyft driver told ABC that he was finishing a drop-off near the Chick-fil-A when he heard more than seven shots fired.
'I finished my trip over there, in the return zone. I heard the shots. When I finished the trip, I go to Chick-fil-A to buy two burgers - I see the police, I heard the shots very close,' he said.
The Chick-fil-A is located at 2139 US 22 in Union, New Jersey. The town is located just over 15 miles outside of New York City.

This will hurt Chick-fil-A squeaky clean image. Looks like teen-mini-gangstas hated a responsible guy who worked there.
Union : 37% black / 19% Hispanic / 27% white , etc...
In 1990 Union was 83% white !
Has Chick-Fil-A Ever Served Burgers On Its Menu?

This doesn’t surprise me. Union is not much better than it’s neighbor Newark.
Alphabet crowd upset about something again??
Or Chick-fil-A was chosen for this attack because of its Christian association.
What? Someone only got one ranch dressing when they ordered two?
“I go to Chick-fil-A to buy two burgers”
Right there, I see a problem.
“This will hurt Chick-fil-A squeaky clean image.”
No idea why you would say that.
“Authorities have yet to provide details on potential suspects or possible motives”
I saw nothing in the article that said anything about CFA employees other than they were victims.
Are churches clean image hurt because some lunatic barged in and started shooting?....of course not.
What are dumb comment.
How does that hurt them?
That said, when I first read this I assumed it was ANTIFA mad at Christians.
Nothing funny about this. The perps need to be caught, tried, and after sentencing immediately hanged.
Jesus him very self said to sell your cloak and buy a sword. God gives us the right for self-preservation. The Sheriff who said the officer deliberately ran over the cop killing suspect and killed him said he deserved it. I would dare any reporter to ask him any question leading with “How dare you . . .
I will assume that to be the case. Anti-Christian leftists.
My mother grew up on her grand parents truck farm near that area. Seeing the recent breakdown numbers shows me no need to go visit my roots. In the 50s Union Station own center was a decent place.

I was born in 1952 . My hometown of Willimantic , CT was 95% white then . Now whites are a minority : 47% Hispanic , 42% White , 5% black , etc...It was a nice place once upon a time but now it’s a dump full of crime , drugs , homeless ...
Racist /sarc
