The violence began after noon in the heart of Jersey City, the state’s second-largest municipality, directly across the Hudson River from Lower Manhattan, prompting a lock down of all Jersey City schools as law enforcement swarmed the area.
Police arriving on the scene immediately came under “high-powered rifle fire,” Jersey City Police Chief Michael Kelly told reporters. While the gunmen’s motives were not known, there was no immediate evidence the bloodshed was either a hate crime or terror-related, Kelly said, adding, “but that’s certainly on the table.”“Based on what we now know, there are no ongoing threats to public safety that have any connections to today’s events,”Governor Phil Murphy said at a separate news conference.The two gunmen and three victims believed to be bystanders were pronounced dead inside the JC Kosher Supermarket.
Kelly said he believed the civilians and the detective were all struck by gunfire from the suspects, who arrived in a stolen U-Haul truck and held police at bay around the store for hours before the shooting ended. “Their movement was rapid and continuous for four hours within that area,” the chief said at an news briefing. He described the crime scene as “very extensive,” encompassing at least three locations. Hundreds of rounds were fired, he said.
