ABC News’ Janai Norman reports., New Jersey, with a pair of rifle-wielding suspects that left a detective and three victims dead began with a deliberate attack on a Jewish deli, authorities said on Wednesday.
But Fulop and Shea declined to describe the attack as a hate crime, saying finding out the motive will be the focus of an investigation conducted by the state attorney general. Shea said the footage shows the gunmen exit the stolen van and immediately enter the deli with guns blazing. He said three citizens inside the business were killed and many more could have lost their lives had officers not responded quickly.
Information available Tuesday indicated the incident was first linked to suspects shooting a police officer at a cemetery before the market shooting began. However, neither Shea nor Fulop would comment Wednesday on reports the cemetery incident was connected to the deli shooting, although Jersey City Police Chief Michael Kelly had told reporters at a news conference Tuesday night that Det. Joseph Seals was killed at the cemetery, allegedly by the suspects.
Shea said within seconds, more Jersey City police officers responded, pulled their two wounded colleagues out of the line of fire and continued to engage the armed suspects inside the store.Police secure and investigate the scene of a shooting in Jersey City, N.J., Dec. 10, 2019.Justin Lane/EPA via Shutterstock
