A shooting broke out inside a New Jersey Chick-fil-A Saturday night, leaving multiple people injured after a group of men stormed in, went behind the food counter, and opened fire, according to reports.
The horror unfolded just before 9 p.m. at the fast food chain’s Route 22 location in Union, which has since been locked down with some workers reportedly still inside as Union County police probe the scene, WABC and CBS New York reported.
A man who said his girlfriend works at the restaurant told CBS a group of masked men charged inside and fired multiple shots after forcing their way behind the counter.
One employee’s family member said an altercation erupted that left multiple workers injured in the gunfire.
“I heard the shots,” a Lyft driver told WABC.
“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.”
One worker’s father called the scene a “warzone.”
It’s unclear how many people were injured or whether there are any casualties.
A large police presence remains at the scene, with cops canvassing the parking lot and sealing off the area.
Authorities have not provided any details about the shooting.
The Union County Prosecutor’s Office is reportedly handing the investigation.
The prosecutor’s office and Chick-fil-A did not immediatley respond to The Post’s request for comment.
The investigation is ongoing.
