Six people, including a police officer, three bystanders and two gunmen were killed in a shootout in New Jersey

Law enforcement personnel walk near the scene following a shooting, Tuesday, December 10, 2019, in Jersey City, New Jersey.

“It's a really tough day for the city of Jersey City,” Mayor Steven Fulop said. Seals “was one of the best officers for getting the most guns off the streets. He was a good cop.”Gunbattle Rabbi Moshe Shapiro, who shops at the kosher store and attends a synagogue next door, said he spoke with the store owner, Moishe Ferencz.

City Public Safety Director James Shea said that authorities believe the bloodshed was not an act of terrorism but that it was still under investigation.The shooting spread fear through the neighbourhood, 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.”
