Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop said Wednesday that surveillance video of the violent gun battle that left six dead including two suspects shows the Kosher grocery store was targeted in the city’s burgeoning Jewish community.

“Last night after extensive review of our (closed-circuit television system) it has now become clear from the cameras that these two individuals targeted the Kosher grocery location on (Martin Luther King Drive - the 2 JCPD officers that were on a foot post one block away immediately responded/engaged and prevented the perpetrators from leaving that location and harming any further civilians,” the mayor wrote in the first of five tweets he sent early Wednesday.

Separately, the New York Times reported that one of the suspects had posted anti-Semitic and anti-police posts online, citing a law enforcement official. The names of the suspects have not been released.

I’m Jewish and proud to live in a community like #JerseyCity that has always welcomed everyone. It is the home of #EllisIsland and has always been the golden door to America. Hate and anti-semitism have never had a place here in JC and will never have a place in our city, — Steven Fulop (@StevenFulop) December 11, 2019

In his tweet, mayor didn’t explain what he meant by “targeted.”

Fulop released a similar tweet Tuesday night in which he said “based on our initial investigation (which is ongoing) we now believe the active shooters targeted the location they attacked,” he wrote.

Fulop added that there were no further credible threats and said Jersey City police will be increasing their presence. He also pointed out that the identity of the shooters will be released by the state Attorney General’s Office, which is investigating along with the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office.

The mayor went on to say that, “hate and anti-Semitism have never had a place here in (Jersey City) and will never have a place in our city.”

A “community healing service” will be held at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Temple Beth-El, 2419 JFK Boulevard in Jersey City. All are welcome, according to the temple’s Twitter feed.

Investigators said the chaos began earlier Tuesday about a mile away near Bayview Cemetery, a historic graveyard off Garfield Avenue. The shooting along JFK Drive continued for about four hours.

The bloodshed began around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday when veteran Jersey City police Detective Joseph Seals, 40, was shot dead in the cemetery. The attackers then went to the kosher market, on Martin Luther King Drive, where they killed three other people and launched a gun battle with police that lasted for about three-and-a-half hours.

The city plans a press conference at 8:30 a.m. Wedesday.
