The mayor of a New Jersey city says gunmen targeted a kosher market during a shooting that filled the streets with the sounds of heavy gunfire for hours. A police officer, three bystanders and two suspects all died in the violence.

The bullets started flying early in the afternoon in the city of about 270,000. Seals, who worked for a unit called Cease Fire, was shot around 12:30 p.m. Police Chief Michael Kelly said when police responded to the area of the kosher store, officers “were immediately engaged by high-power rifle fire.”

“He told me he had just walked out of the store into the synagogue not five feet away just before this happened, and then he couldn’t get back for hours,” Schapiro said. “His wife was inside the store. He said, ‘I hope my wife is safe.’” The shooting spread fear through the neighborhood, and the nearby Sacred Heart School was put on lockdown as a precaution.

“It’s like firecrackers going off,” said Andy Patel, who works at a liquor store about three blocks away. “They were shooting like crazy. ... The cops were clearing everyone off the streets.”

Where does all this hate come from? Well last night our president called democrats scum. So it starts at the top.

😥

That's sad to lose a good cop in a situation like that. If it had been one of those cops who always hope to be able to jail or shoot at certain people (for weed or anything) it might help America. But this doesn't. He probably wasn't asking- 'Does he have it? Can I jail him?'

it’s literally called… wait for it… Jersey City.

Trump's world is not good for people.

This is so disturbing. My heart goes out to all involved.

Where else does this happen?

Sound like the perpetrators ran into that store randomly. But , ofcourse some victims are more equal then others !

We've seen this opera before... ImpeachTheMFTraitorNow

Strange the same day oh dear leader signed executive paper regarding Jews.. weird

Who are these people? Terrorists? Notice the difference between the Pensacola shooting where the suspect was immediately identified and this shooting...nothing. Pensacola-(R)...Jersey City-(D). What are the Democrats hiding?

About par for American gun violence.

Breaking your back to hide the identities of the shooters.

home grown trump terrorists.

All the prophets, including Muhammad, Musa, Jesus and Ibrahim. They are all human beings like us. They eat food and drink water. And suffer from excreting feces and urine. P How do we make them God. Or children of God. They are human beings like us..

Those dead people in the Jewish store weren't 'bystanders'. They were targeted victims. Learn the difference.
