LATEST: Gunman who opened fire at a kosher grocery store in Jersey City 'targeted' the market, officials say: 'There were many other targets available to them that they bypassed to attack that place.'
Shea emphasized that the shooters' motive is not yet clear and is under investigation.
Three civilians were found dead inside the store following what became an hourslong standoff and shootout between police and the suspects.On Tuesday, sources and officials said Seals was killed after police investigating a murder approached the two shooting suspects and one of them opened fire, hitting the officer in the head.
At Wednesday's press conference, Shea and Fulop declined to discuss how the detective's death may have been connected to the grocery store shooting. Shea told reporters Wednesday that police in the area responded to the store immediately, likely saving more people from being killed. "The streets were filled with people and the school was filled with people and we have to assume that they would have continued attacking people," he said.
