Four people, including a police officer and three civilians, were killed in a lengthy gun battle in Jersey City Tuesday, CBS New York reported.
The two suspects in shooting were also killed, the report said. Their bodies were found in a kosher grocery store at Martin Luther King Boulevard after an intense shootout with police.
The incident began at the Bay View cemetery. Sources told CBS the suspects were spotted at the cemetery in a rental van. Officers recognized them as being wanted for questioning in a previous homicide, sources said. The two suspects then opened fire and drove about a mile to the grocery store, where a massive gun battle took place in the middle of a residential neighborhood.
One officer was rushed to the hospital but did not survive. Three other police officers were wounded, including one who was shot in the shoulder, said Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop.
The other two were treated for shrapnel injuries. A civilian was also injured.
Jersey City Director of Public Safety James Shea initially said there was no indication the incident was terror-related, but Fulop tweeted on Tuesday evening that the shooters may have targeted the kosher market.
"Based on our initial investigation (which is ongoing) we now believe the active shooters targeted the location they attacked.
Due to an excess of caution the community may see additional police resources in the days/weeks ahead. We have no indication there are any further threats," he wrote.
In another tweet, Fulop wrote,
"We have been in close contact with the Jewish community in Jersey City to help where we can. While we work through details/investigation of today’s incident I know the entire Jersey City community stands together with the Jewish Community during these challenging times."
Schools in the area were placed on lockdown during the shootout. The lockdown was lifted at 4:15 p.m.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy stated:
"I have been briefed on the unfolding situation in Jersey City. Our thoughts and prayers are with the men and women of the Jersey City Police Department, especially with the officers shot during this standoff, and with the residents and schoolchildren currently under lockdown. I have every confidence in our law enforcement professionals to ensure the safety of the community and resolve this situation. Today reminds us of their bravery and the sacrifices they, and their families, make for our communities."
Two shooters, a male and a female, have been killed. A third suspect is reportedly still on the loose.
Israeli Consul in New York Dani Dayan responded to the shootout.
"According to senior sources I spoke to minutes ago, the feeling is that the incident in Jersey City was not a terrorist event or a hate crime. However, the event is not over yet, the situation is fluid and as at this stage it is only a suspicion," Dayan tweeted.
Rabbi Moshe Schapiro, a Chabad rabbi in New Jersey, told Channel 13 News,
"One of the shooters entered the store and fired from there. At the moment it is not entirely clear what exactly happened, but we hope and pray that it will end soon without casualties."
US President Donald Trump commented on the shooting in Jersey City.
"Just received a briefing on the horrific shootout that took place in Jersey City, NJ. Our thoughts & prayers are w/ the victims & their families during this very difficult & tragic time. We will continue to monitor the situation as we assist local & state officials on the ground," he tweeted.

ReplyDeleteUpdates:
Jersey City Mayor Fulop & de Blasio have Tweeted that it was an anti-Semitic massacre, the gesheft was davka targeted. They had body armor & powerful explosives. de Blasio is spooked & doing a big time deployment of NYPD assets overnight to inzerra moisdos.
The dead officer zochur letoiv may have accidentally disrupted their staging point to save the entire Jersey City Cheder. One more attacker may have escaped on roof tops. That's why there were snipers brought in from 50 to 60 SWAT commands in two States.
All victims Hyd are Satmar. 2 more Yidden escaped with gunshot wounds. Mayor Fulop is not frum but also shtams from Satmar in der Heim.
Major hashgocho protis that the kosher store had just emptied out for Mincha & the oylam kept leining Tehillim during the lockdown.
The Wall Street Journal was the only newspaper with reporters smart enough to call around KJ asking questions about the grocery & Ferencz.
ReplyDeleteLots of misinformation here. Need to recheck facts.
ReplyDeleteI cringe to read names of deceased people not mentioned elsewhere.
Ma Liberal boy Fulop is not reading from script formulated by myself along with J Street and approved for a tidy sum by Ezra Friedlander!
ReplyDeleteThere are not supposed to be any maybes, efshars, ken zeins, that refer to Jews! Especially not when Jersey City has a huge Arab population that votes Democrat!
Now repeat after me:
"I heard that some folks may have been shot after a dispute at a deli"
I have to do everything myself!
Your names/numbers dont all seem to be accurate, please be careful. There were only three civilians mentioned as killed in the store
ReplyDeleteDIN is right. The Chabad shaliach publicly confirmed the names of the victims Hyd which media outlets are slower to get confirmed police confirmation.
ReplyDeleteNBC is reporting that the killers are anti-Semite Black "Hebrew Israelites". An FBI assessment in 1999 says many in that movement are just as racist anti-White & anti-Semitic as the White Supremacist Christian Identity movement is anti-Black & anti-Semitic. They pulled up & immediately shot a Chassidishe Yid on the street outside and then the Yidden inside.
Michelle Obama's 1st cousin is a "rabbi" in that tzedreiter movement.
I don't understand how Chabad was spreading misinformation when they were the ones at the hospital & morgue. Only two Yidden were killed. Friedman & Gold are still alive. A Hispanic worker in the kosher store was killed. Michael Rumberger was killed on Shabbos in nearby Bayonne after the savages bashed his head & locked his body in a car trunk. Police won't say anything about Rumberger & his connection other than he was a White guy who is not Jewish.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone understand Yossi Gestetner?

in the same breath he says Yidden are not tzittering from Jersey City AND that we are shaken to the core
Forget what you heard in der heim. Pack you bags and go to Eretz Hakoidesh. Leave the cherry lights and shtis b3hond. They wont save your lives from all of the oyvim.
