The shooting happened at East Coast, a shop on Irving Street in the city's downtown.

Reports of the shooting came in around 9:30 p.m. and police were on the scene through the early morning hours Saturday.

A man who was attending a meeting at the Masonic Temple next to the store on Irving Street said he heard screaming and then someone yelling for help just moments before police arrived. He declined to give his name.

The Union County Prosecutor's office confirmed that at least one person was killed in the shooting and that it is an active investigation, but has not yet released more details or identified the victim.

Rahway Police, the Union County Sheriff's Department and other investigators were at the scene.
