Officers responded to a reported shooting just after 8:45 p.m. on Route 22 near Gelb Avenue, CBS New York reported.

A man who said his girlfriend works at the restaurant told the outlet that she said a group of men entered the store, went behind the counter and allegedly fired multiple shots.

Authorities remained at the scene late Saturday, with officers and employees seen inside the restaurant while additional officers canvassed the parking lot.

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherill said she had been briefed on the shooting. 

"As local law enforcement continues their investigation, we remain in close contact with officials on the ground," Sherrill wrote on X. "My thoughts are with those who were injured in the shooting, and with their families. I am grateful to our first responders for their swift action and continued efforts to keep the community safe."
