JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Six people, including a police officer and three bystanders, were killed in a furious gun battle Tuesday that filled the streets of Jersey City with the sound of heavy fire for hours, authorities said.
A video shot by a witness shows a police officer on the ground by a car, apparently wounded. Another officer goes to him, helps him up and the two run around a corner as gunshots ring out. Seconds later, as a police cruiser pulls up in front of the store, about a dozen shots are heard in rapid succession.
“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.”
This is “reverse racism” deflection from Kahanist WhiteNationalist terrorism! ICYMI, Israelis were caught in JerseyCity on 9/11 cheering as WTC collapsed NOT BlackHebrewIsraelites, NOT Muslims, NOT ADOS, NOT Russians, NOT Chinese! IsraelDid911 BDS + REPARATIONS FTW!

💔
FightExtremism 😓
Jhwrr The police didn't say that though
pfal is that you or cousin in this photo?
How is this not a hate crime
This is what the GOP is standing for!
Started at a cemetery as a 'bad undercover drug deal', then was a 'homicide investigation', now it's a 'hate crime' Narrative keeps changing, stay vigilant. Something stinks.
Well this timing is curious
Where are the gunners names? What’s the hold up?
Trump supporter
Perp names and photos? Hello? Imagine if they were incel white men... 5 mins after the start of the attack.
They have got to be sick to do that every person that died has a story
I really do not understand why the Jewish community continues to be assulted. It's not just here in the US, but abroad, too. I never gave a thought about thier religion, 7th generation American, daughter of the Revolutionary War, I am. What's wrong with people?
RIP
Why do news agencies continue to include the gunmen in death totals with the ones they murdered? It’s just a sick way for them to “boost” the headlines of a story
So he hated Jews?
OMG, what the hell is going on!!? What in the world is happening?

The 'news' I heard this afternoon was that cops were the target. I say this only to document the different 'news' we are told. (don't me)
😥God Bless the first resonders and these families. senatemajldr Do your job or step aside.😡 GOP = NRA puppets MassacreMitch
The story here is 3 innocent bystanders killed , because cops acted recklessly 😠
This is NUTS!! Is this just a “coincidence” they targeted a Jewish market on the same day Trump made his announcement?!
So a cop was investigating a homicide warrant and was murdered? The cops interrupted a drug deal? Now they targeted a Jewish market? Why does this story keep changing?
Anti-gun crowd should stop trying to fit this to their narrative.
Cruelest summary of reality.
