An attack that left six people dead in Jersey City, New Jersey Tuesday targeted the Jewish community. The attacker chose a Kosher grocery to carry out his attack. Authorities confirmed Wednesday it was deliberate.

We now also know the shooter was a member of the anti-Semitic group, Black Hebrew Israelites. That same group provoked a group of high school boys visiting Washington D.C. earlier this year from Covington Catholic.
