The location of today’s deadly shooting in Jersey City was “targeted,” sources said Tuesday evening.
Jersey City mayor Steve Fulop says in a tweet:
“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.”

CBS New York reported the two suspects in the shootings were killed, along with three civilians.
Their bodies were found in a kosher grocery store at Bayview Avenue and Martin Luther King Boulevard in Jersey City after an intense, hours-long shootout with police.
Jersey City Police Chief Michael Kelly said police believe the three civilians killed in the grocery store were shot by the suspects.
New York City Mayor Bill Deblasio tweeted in response:
“This tragically confirms that a growing pattern of violent anti-Semitism has now turned into a crisis for our nation. And now this threat has reached the doorstep of New York City.
“Although there is no credible or specific threat directed against New York City, I have directed the NYPD to assume a state of high alert.
“Tonight, NYPD assets are being redeployed to protect key locations in the Jewish community. Tomorrow, we will announce additional measures.
“History teaches us how dangerous it is to ignore this kind of hateful pattern. We must stop anti-Semitism aggressively and decisively, and I call upon all New Yorkers to join in rooting out this threat.”

The NYPD 71st Precinct in the Crown Heights neighborhood released a statement following the news of the Kosher store being targeted.
“We are still monitoring the situation in New Jersey,” they said in a statement while stressing that they have “no known threats at this time anywhere in New York City.”
“Out of extreme precaution and to reassure the Jewish community of their safety, we are turning out extra patrols in the Jewish community,” a police source said.
Gog V Mgog.Terrible. MHM NOW👊💪
Didn’t the Rebbe say that already happened?
Straight to Geulah
No need for this
. . . tweeted the following: We’re devastated by today’s mass shooting in Jersey City. There are days that require us to stop and think about what it means to put on a uniform every day. Today is one of those days. (–see: https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/general/1809765/kosher-supermarket-was-targeted-multiple-jewish-victims-among-dead-updated-928pm.html) As horrific as it is that we have lost yet another self-sacrificing hero — Police Detective Seals, the father of several children, r”l — Gov. Murphy needs to ALSO “stop and think about what it means to put on a” yarmulke, tzitzis, etc.; or a sheitel or tichel, etc. every day! It sounds like the Jewish… Read more »
For Democrats Jewish blood doesn’t matter. Even Democrats who are Jewish just shrug their shoulders and cower all while being silent. For Democrats if you’re not black, LGBTQ, or a Muslim then you don’t matter. Jews are just another privileged group in America and they are fair game, oh and Donald Trump is the true anti-Semite. Deflection and projection. The vile Jew hatred is alive and well in one party and that’s the Democrat leftist party.
Isn’t it time to.place the blame where it belongs. Democrats do everything anti Israel and antisemitism.
We don’t know who the attackers are yet. If they are white supremacists the Dems will come out weepy and wailing – if minority they will say it is antizionism
What nonsense these posts are supporting the moron President. Wake up Jews for Trump, you think he’s our friend because he moved the embassy or makes a statement about nationality? He does everything for his own purpose and betterment. His pseudo ‘Jewish’ daughter and gunnif son in law make a mockery of our beliefs. You all follow like sheep, You cant remember what happened 75 years ago? You’re all taken in by this phony, WAKE UP! And blaming the Democrats for all the country’s ills is pure hypocrisy and dare I say stupidity!
Yes, TRUMP loves the Jews, and that is why the jealous and feeble-minded self-hating Jews like YOU are going all berserk and violent on us! hey KORACH, may you be swallowed by the earth along with your beloved DEMS and Mo’s!
You are the moron. You are so blinded by the Democrat rhetoric that you can’t see the facts. You defend the indefensible and attack those committed to helping our community. If you are a Jew, you are a self-hating one. Do everyone a favor, and go away instead of attempting to use a tragedy among us, clearly perpetrated by someone who hates, to spew your vile hatred of the President of the United States.
What nonsense! You are as brainwashed as the rest of the Jews for Trump!
This was a anti Semitic attack, for sure, no doubt !!!!
Every Jew a 22
why not a .45?

As recipient of the 2001 FBI Director’s Community Leadership Award, let`s recall the profound words of Devorah Halberstam: “The single biggest threat to America is not international Islamic terror. The biggest danger is when we allow a misguided sense of political correctness to prevent us from identifying the real threat and calling it by its real name. I am afraid that Western Europe has already sacrificed its future on the altar of postmodernism and political correctness. By not recognizing the endemic and systemic cancer of Islamo-fascism that is metastasizing in its midst, Europe has abdicated any hope for a free… Read more »
Sounds like a misdirection tactic by the mayor and police to cover-up their FUBAR drug sting gone bad and blame Trump and antisemitism instead.
I’m very suspicious
DeBlasio…release the names of the MURDERERS. What are you so afraid of? Sgt Seals was a hero as he knew the van was carrying dangerous ammo (and an incendiary device?). He sacrificed his life for what could have been an even more disastrous outcome.
Did someone say muslim? Islam?
