One person was killed and six others were injured in a shooting at a Chick-fil-A in Union Township, New Jersey, according to officials. Authorities said the shooting does not appear to have been random.

One of the victims was pronounced dead. The other six were treated for non-life-threatening injuries, according to prosecutors.
