A mass shooting took place inside a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Union Township, New Jersey, on Saturday night, and witnesses report that it was done by a “group” of masked men.

The shooting left one person dead and at least six others injured, according to multiple law enforcement and media reports.

The incident took place around 8:40 p.m., and witnesses described chaos as a group of masked gunmen entered the busy fast-food restaurant, went behind the counter, and opened fire.

According to a report from NJ.com, a man whose girlfriend works at the restaurant said that a group of men entered, went directly behind the counter, and fired multiple shots.

Another eyewitness, the father of an employee, told the local news that his son called him in a panic, reporting that multiple masked suspects had stormed inside and that several co-workers were injured.

He described the scene inside as a “warzone.”

Law enforcement officers arrived quickly and found multiple victims suffering from gunshot wounds.

An officer could be heard on the police scanner saying, “I’ve got one shot in the face and at least two in the leg.”

One victim was pronounced dead at the scene, while the others were transported to nearby hospitals.

The exact conditions of the surviving victims have not been publicly released.

A large police presence remained at the scene into the early morning hours, with the restaurant placed on lockdown.

Officers were seen canvassing the parking lot, interviewing witnesses, and reviewing surveillance footage.

Union Police and the Union County Prosecutor’s Office are leading the investigation.

Lauren Farinas, a spokeswoman for the Union County Prosecutor’s Office, said in a statement, “This is an active and ongoing investigation. More information will be released as it becomes available.”

No information has been released regarding the number of suspects, their identities, a possible motive, or any arrests.

This remains a developing story. The Gateway Pundit will provide updates as new details emerge.

Anyone with information is urged to contact local authorities.

UFC President Dana White held a press conference on Saturday night after the conclusion of UFC 327.

Dana White is known for his no-nonsense press conferences.

He never holds back.

A reporter tried to bait Dana White on a question about the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House in June.

UFC Freedom 250 will be hosted on the South Lawn of the White House on June 14, 2026 to celebrate 250 years of the US.

“Be Part of History UFC Freedom 250 celebrates the 250th birthday of the United States with a once-in-a-generation tribute to the American fighting spirit,” the UFC said.

“From the Revolution to the Octagon, this unforgettable event will unite generations through powerful storytelling and elite competition on the world’s greatest proving ground,” the UFC said.

A reporter tried to politicize the UFC event.

“Was there ever hesitancy or consideration of perhaps having an event at the White House and maybe a part of a fan base that does not lean into those politics with the [Trump] administration?” a reporter asked Dana White.

“I don’t think like that,” Dana White said.

Dana White called Trump a good friend and praised him for being a fan of the sport.

Last week, UFC President Dana White hinted that President Trump would be attending Saturday night’s fight at the Kaseya Center in Miami.

“It’s good to be back in Miami. Yeah, I’m pumped. We got the big guy coming on Saturday, too. He’s coming,” Dana White said to Adin Ross.

The president is a great friend of Dana White and has attended numerous UFC fights over the years.

President Trump and Dana White made a grand entrance at the Kaseya Center later Saturday evening.

A 28-year-old man from Rancho Cucamonga was arrested Friday morning after he allegedly set multiple intentional fires inside the busy Ontario Mills Mall in Ontario, California, forcing a full evacuation and temporary closure of the shopping center.

The crazy scene was captured on video by witnesses.

Ontario Police officers responded around 10:30 a.m. on Friday to reports of a suspicious male carrying a lighter and a backpack who was intentionally igniting fires inside the mall.

Callers described the suspect actively setting blazes in several stores, including the True Religion outlet and Nordstrom Rack.

Officers quickly located the suspect, identified as Luis Javier Gallegos Jr., inside the True Religion store.

Footage shared on social media shows flames burning in the store as police confront and take Gallegos into custody after he failed to comply with commands.
