The incident unfolded Saturday night when two individuals rushed into the crowded restaurant, attempting to evade a man with a knife.
An off-duty cop was also inside the Chick-fil-A, and after identifying himself and attempting to talk down the knife-wielding man, the officer shot him.
The man was transported to the hospital and was later pronounced dead.
The Suffolk County District Attorney’s office is investigating the incident, as they believe there may have been more than one individual in the area that knows something and is asking them to “step forward.”
This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.
