Police respond to an incident outside a Chick-fil-A restaurant at night, with emergency vehicles and officers present near the entrance.

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.

Nazi Tattoo-Wearing Democrat Sen. Candidate Previously Talked About Jesus Being a ‘Zombie’ and Mary a ‘Skank’

Published

Man with a beard wearing a black sweatshirt stands outside a building with a sign for Graham Platner's U.S. Senate campaign.

Maine Democrat and candidate for the U.S. Senate Graham Platner’s history continues to plague his efforts to portray a more moderate image to voters.

Most notably, Platner has tried to explain away his Nazi tattoo — a Totenkopf infamously adorned by Adolf Hitler’s SS – by flip-flopping, at times downplaying its significance while at others saying the tattoo is a simple skull and crossbones.

Now, comments by the congressional hopeful about Christianity have come to the surface, once again damaging his image.

On Wednesday, political commentator Greg Price posted a screenshot to social media platform X from 2012 in which Platner responded to a post on Reddit about a soldier who claimed the military discriminated against him for being an atheist.

The post was about Army Specialist Jeremy Hall.

CNN explained that Hall grew up Baptist but became an atheist sometime during his tours of duty to Iraq. He filed suit against the United States Department of Defense after saying he experience a career downturn and felt his life was at risk, needing a bodyguard to protect him.

Platner commented on a headline about Hall on the Subreddit R/videos that hit on the major points of Hall’s story, doubting the authenticity of it.

He wrote, “I’ve spent 8 years in the infantry, Marine Corps, and Army, and I’ve been about as crudely atheist as one can be the entire time (zombie jesus jokes and Mary sucking at covering up being a skank, as examples).”

After referring to Jesus as a “zombie” and Mary as a “skank,” Platner added that he was around plenty of atheist soldiers and that he wasn’t held back from promotion, as the headline indicated Hall felt he was.

WARNING: The following post contains language some readers may find offensive. 

“Sure, there have been a few bible thumpers I’ve run into, but it was certainly never systemic,” Platner concluded.

For context, Platner is a combat veteran, enlisting after graduating high school and doing four tours of duty, according to his website.

He cannot seem to avoid controversy.

Likely, Platner will do as poor of a job explaining away these comments as he did in performing the mental gymnastics to downplay his tattoo.

Democrats would have a field day if a Republican were found to have mocked Muhammad years ago on an online post.

Certainly, people can change, and something that was said 14 years ago might no longer be relevant in some cases, but Platner can’t make up his mind about who he is now. 

To moderates, saying such deplorable things about the Lord of millions of Americans and the one who gave birth to him will be distasteful at best, but let’s not forget who votes Democrat.

These people may look at Platner’s behavior with joy.

We will know soon enough.

REPORT: Pam Bondi Pleaded with Trump Not To Fire Her During Meeting and Allegedly Tipped Off Eric Swalwell About FBI’s Push to Release Salacious Fang Fang Files

More details have emerged regarding Pam Bondi’s sudden firing as Attorney General, and they do not reflect well on her at all.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Bondi’s employment was terminated in a surprising shakeup and replaced in the interim by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. Bondi will transition to another role in the Trump Administration.

The president has reportedly discussed replacing Bondi with EPA Chief Lee Zeldin.

This news came following reports that Trump was mulling firing Bondi over her handling of the Epstein file release.

Now, the Daily Mail reveals that a senior administration source told them that Trump actually informed Bondi during their meeting that she was fired.

Bondi responded by begging Trump not to fire her and to give her additional time in the role.

The president, however, remained firm.

The Mail also reveals a stunning final detail that proved to be Trump’s final straw with Bondi.

The president believes that Bondi gave Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-China) a heads-up about the FBI trying to release documents related to his romantic relationship with Chinese spy Christine Fang.

The senior administration source also told the Mail that Bondi was intervening in the matter.

Moreover, Bondi is reportedly FRIENDS with Swalwell. Friends with one of the most odious Democrats in America.

From The Daily Mail:

Trump’s reasoning for the sudden dismissal comes in part because the President believes Bondi tipped off Eric Swalwell about the FBI’s efforts to release investigative documents related to his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy.

The FBI was preparing a cache of documents on Swalwell’s relationship with Christine Fang.

“She’s intervening in those matters. The White House wasn’t pleased she was intervening due to her personal friendship with Swalwell,” the source added.

It is unclear why Bondi would have intervened, but it is believed that Bondi and Swalwell have a friendly relationship.

If this is all true, how did the administration miss it?
