Police officer among multiple people killed in Jersey City shooting, mayor says

A police officer and multiple others were killed in a shooting in Jersey City on Tuesday that authorities say is not believed to have been a terrorism attack.

A second officer was struck in the shoulder by gunfire and two others were injured by shrapnel, Fulop said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the men and women of the Jersey City Police Department, especially with the officers shot during this standoff, and with the residents and schoolchildren currently under lockdown,” Gov. Phil Murphy said. “I have every confidence in our law enforcement professionals to ensure the safety of the community and resolve this situation.”

Jersey City is just across the Hudson River from Manhattan and is New Jersey’s second-largest city after Newark.Andy Patel, who works at a liquor store about three blocks from the site of the shooting, said there had been consistent gunfire fire for about an hour Tuesday afternoon.

Friendly reminder: cops enforce gun control - this was a good day.

Did the gun's owner(s) pass a background check(s)? Everyone knows if you pass a background check, THAT weapon CAN'T/WON'T be used to shoot or kill ANYONE. It's odd news articles don't report how the shooter got the gun(s). Gun free New Jersey. 🤣 Stop infringing on the 2A.

This isn't true. NJ is a gun free zone. Therefore this is not possible.

Did they interview the dead suspects? Yes it's ridiculous to even claim they know this wasn't a terror attack this early in the situation. This is just pure propaganda by mainstream Media news. Fake news

Where is Cory Booker?!? It’s his area I thought!

it's terrorism alright. the suspects just arent who the mainstream wants to call out as terrorists.

If drug dealers were able to utilize the court system when deals go bad, they would be much less likely to shoot each other. When was the last time you heard about a pharmacist getting into a gunfight with someone over a bad deal? endthedrugwar
