Police Hunt Gunmen After Targeted Shooting at New Jersey Chick-fil-A Kills 1, Injures 6

Authorities in Union, New Jersey, are searching for suspects after a Saturday night shooting inside a Chick-fil-A on Route 22 left one person dead and six others wounded, all with non-life-threatening injuries. The Union County Prosecutor’s Office says officers responded around 9 p.m. on April 11 and found seven victims, and that preliminary findings indicate the incident was a targeted attack rather than random violence. A witness told local media that his girlfriend, a restaurant worker, reported a group of men entering, going behind the counter and firing multiple shots, while dashcam video circulating online appears to show a person fleeing with what looks like a gun in hand. Prosecutors say no arrests have been made, have not released any suspect descriptions or motive, and are offering a reward of up to $10,000 through Union County Crime Stoppers for information leading to an indictment and conviction. New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill said she has been briefed and praised first responders, while investigators remained on scene late into the night canvassing the restaurant and parking lot as residents traded conflicting rumors on social media about whether workers or customers were the intended targets.
