At least six people were shot, including one person who was killed, at a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Union Township, New Jersey, on Saturday night, according to preliminary reports.
The shooting is under investigation, and authorities had not yet released details about a suspect, a possible motive or any arrests.
The incident took place at the fast-food chain restaurant in the 2300 block of Route 22. It was reported as a mass shooting at the site by the Gun Violence Archive, a nonpartisan reference resource.
As of Sunday, the archive listed the shooting as the 100th mass shooting documented in the United States this year. The organization defines mass shootings as incidents in which four or more victims are wounded or killed.
The reported attack adds to a grim tally of gun violence already tracked in the United States this year. With the case still active and details limited, officials have not yet provided further information about the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
Union Township is located in New Jersey, and the Chick-fil-A restaurant became the latest site of a mass shooting being monitored by the Gun Violence Archive. The preliminary report indicates that the incident left multiple people injured in addition to the fatality, but the number and condition of the victims were not immediately made public beyond the initial count.
Further updates are expected as the investigation continues.
