We frequent that CFA quite often. Always figured a gunfight would break out at the U-Turn right there, not the restaurant itself. Expecting that those guns weren’t carried legally at all… so I suspect we won’t be hearing much about it soon. ---

Yet, no description released of the suspect or no names/description of the injured. I wonder what’s the big secret. You would think the PD would release a complete description of the suspect they’re searching for, so the general public can help… unless… _UNION TOWNSHIP (Union) — Police are scouring the area after one person was killed and six others hurt in an awful [shooting at a Chick-fil-A restaurant](https://nj1015.com/chick-fil-a-shooting-union-nj/)on Saturday night._ _A customer, 23-year-old New York City resident Malek Shepherd, died after gunfire opened inside the restaurant just before 9 p.m., the Union County Prosecutor’s Office said on Monday afternoon._ _Law enforcement still has not released the identity of any others involved, or whether they were customers or restaurant workers._ > **['Masked gunman' caught on video after deadly Chick-fil-A shooting in New Jersey](https://nj1015.com/union-nj-chick-fil-a-shooting/)** > > On a busy Saturday night, a Chick-fil-A in Union Township became the scene of a targeted shooting, prompting an intense investigation as authorities seek information from the public. ---

Yeah whenever the Media doesn’t give a description…. You know it isn’t a white male because if it was they would have had his first, middle, and last name and last known address posted. ---
