Authorities in Union Township are investigating a mass shooting that unfolded at a busy restaurant Saturday evening, leaving at least one person dead and multiple others injured.

According to preliminary information, the incident occurred around 8:40 p.m. at a Chick-fil-A location along Route 22, where a barrage of gunfire erupted inside or near the crowded establishment.

The sudden violence caused panic as dozens of patrons scrambled to safety.

Responding officers quickly secured the scene and located multiple victims suffering from gunshot wounds.

Officials confirmed that at least six people were shot during the incident. One victim was pronounced dead at the scene, while the others were transported to nearby hospitals.

Their conditions have not yet been publicly released.

The Union County Prosecutor’s Office is leading the investigation, which remains active and ongoing.

Authorities have not yet provided details on a suspect, possible motive, or whether anyone has been taken into custody.

This remains a developing story. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.

Mass shootings are so bad and also the reaction of today's society is so sad
We've come to a place where in this society people treat events as ammo.
Instead of wanting to know what happened their first thought will be who did it.

Was it a republican, a democrat, what ethnicity was the shooter, was he trans?
I hate it so much when ppl treat tragedy as a chance to score political points

It's so disgusting

For a mass shooting with suspects that are still out there on the run, the police have been REAL quiet about this. Wonder why?
