Numerous people were injured after “masked suspects” stormed a Union, New Jersey, Chick-fil-A counter Saturday night and opened fire, according to NJ.com.
CBS News reported the attack occurred about 8:45 p.m. A man whose girlfriend works at the restaurant indicated “a group of men came into the restaurant and went directly behind the counter, where they fired multiple shots.”
According to an account from a family member of another employee, there “was some sort of altercation and that employees were injured in the violence.”
While details on the incident are limited, FOX Business noted at least six people are believed to have been injured.
Mike Bloomberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety ranks New Jersey the seventh most stringent state for gun control in the Union.
New Jersey has universal background checks for handgun sales, a red flag law, a concealed carry permit requirement, gun storage laws, an “assault weapons” ban, a bump stock ban, “ghost gun” regulations, and numerous other controls. None of these prevented Saturday night’s Chick-fil-A attack.
