Tuesday's gunfire in Jersey City began not with an attack on police officers, but an apparently deliberate attack on civilians inside a kosher market, the city's mayor and public safety director said Wednesday morning.
"We do feel comfortable that it was a targeted attack on the Jewish kosher deli," Mayor Steven Fulop told reporters, citing surveillance video showing the shooters driving up to the store, getting out and firing into the store.Jersey City Department of Public Safety Director James Shea stressed authorities are not labeling the incident as anti-Semitic."The motives are still part of the investigation," he said.
Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop has tweeted twice -- on Tuesday and Wednesday -- that the investigation leads authorities to believe the shooters targeted the kosher market.In Wednesday's tweet, Fulop said it has"now become clear from cameras that these two individuals targeted the Kosher grocery location."Fulop has not elaborated on what the video shows, how it indicates the shooters targeted the market or what reason the suspects would have had to target the business.
