I thought NJ didn't allow guns. Oh, well. :roll:

One police officer has been killed and two others injured during a dramatic hourslong shootout and standoff Tuesday in Jersey City, New Jersey, prosecutors said, as SWAT teams and federal agents rushed to the neighborhood.

Two suspects, one male and one female, both described as juveniles, also were shot, while a third, described as a black male wearing all black, remained on the loose, a federal law enforcement source told Fox News.

One police officer, who was undercover, was rushed to Jersey City Medical Center with an apparent shoulder injury.

"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 in a statement. "I have every confidence in our law enforcement professionals to ensure the safety of the community and resolve this situation."

NJ Transit has suspended Hudson–Bergen Light Rail service and bus service on the West Side Branch.

Loud volleys of gunfire could be heard at regular intervals but subsided around 2 p.m. in the city, which is just across the Hudson River from Manhattan.

Dozens of bystanders pressed against the police barrier to film the action on cellphones, some whooping when gunfire bursts filled the air.

Andy Patel, who works at a liquor store about three blocks away from the site of the shooting site, said there had been consistent gunfire fire about an hour Tuesday afternoon.

"I can hear the gunshots. It's like firecrackers going off. They were shooting like crazy about an hour ago. Then it stopped for like 20 or 30 minutes. The cops were clearing everyone off the streets," said Patel.

Volley of loud gunfire..ever heard a quiet volley?

I haven't, but I've been told that silencers work. :wink:

Fox news and others are covering this. So far reporting 6 dead including 1 leo, many wounded, 1 bg on the loose maybe. As usual, details are sketchy.
 
I saw part of this on the world news last night. Apparently it started as a drug deal gone bad. Of course,, that's just speculation by the media.
One officer dead, 3 hostages dead, and the 2 gunmen dead. Four hours of a standoff & shootout.
I feel for the officer & the innocent people,, and offered prayers last night. But the dead guys,, at least no lengthy trial, and them living 20-40 years in prison costing taxpayers tons money.

As noted,, law abiding people had no way to defend themselves,, and THAT"S the tragedy.
 
Well, apparently it wasn't a drug related shooting event. Apparently it was a man & woman,, who hated police,, as well as the Jewish Community. And they targeted a store with the intent of killing someone inside AND doing as much damage as they could. Good riddance to those thugs!
 
It was a hate crime perpetrated by a couple members of the anti-white and anti-Semitic Black Hebrew Israelite movement, who had specifically targeted the kosher grocery in question.

If the name sounds familiar, it's the same group that was harassing Nick Sandman and his fellow Covington Catholic students a while back . . . and started that whole media feeding frenzy against a bunch of innocent kids. As Ace says: "Enjoy the last few minutes you'll ever hear about this story." Unless they try to change the subject to the eeeevul gunz. :roll:
 
Ben Shapiro made a pretty good case today, that it was an anti-semite attack and that they specifically target Jews in the area of the kosher grocery. Interesting the media didn't pick up on that. He said to expect no more information coming out of this shooting as it didn't follow the MSM agenda. I suspect he's right.
 
It's become obvious that Christians and Jews are being targeted by these Islam-inspired terrorists. They're hatred for all of western civilization and the freedom of thought that is essential is boundless. What's even scarier is that now we have more home-grown followers of this philosophy.
 
The people of NJ are sheep, and like it that way. They compete with NY and a few other states for the most anti-2nd Amendment climate that a state can create. No matter how many crimes occur where criminals prey upon unarmed innocent people, the voters of NJ reject the very concept of self defense and basic natural rights and vote for strident anti gun politicians. When I used to travel to NY to see my aging (now deceased) mother, I had to pass through NJ and always felt like I had left the US and entered a foreign and hostile country. The law enforcement community supports the anti-gun philosophy with a vengeance. Numerous cases have been in the news in recent years about innocent people, clearly not criminals, being charged as felons for violations of NJ gun laws, sometimes when the "criminal" has sought help from the police.

The fact, since revealed in news coverage, that the shooter obtained at least some of the firearms used while in Ohio, legally, will just cause local gun haters to argue that tough laws like NJ has need to be made national policy. And now they have Michael Bloomberg who is running for President primarily on his anti-gun crusade.
 
The media stated an AR-15 type weapon was one of those used. Does anyone know if it had been converted to full auto or not? He expended a large amount of ammo so I was wondering.
 
I only heard about this on Ben Shapiro's show, no where else.
Guess it doesn't fit the MSM narrative.
