Hundreds of ammunition shells have been recovered from the market scene, Grewal said. Investigators think all three slain victims in the store “were shot … within minutes of the shooters entering the store,” Grewal said. One person who was inside the market was shot when Anderson and Graham opened fire, but he fled the store as the attackers shot at him, and survived, officials said.

Killed Tuesday were Jersey City police Detective Joseph Seals and three people in the market: Mindy Ferencz, 31, the store’s co-owner Moshe Deutsch, 24, a customer and Douglas Miguel Rodriguez, 49, a store employee. Shooters had lots of firepower and ‘could have done more’ had police not stopped them “But we will not be defeated, we will not stand down, we will not be intimidated,” Greenblatt said. “From Pittsburgh to Poway, and now to Jersey City, the disease that is anti-Semitism has clearly spread to epidemic proportions.” “Our community has been terrorized once again by violent anti-Semitism,” Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, said in a statement.
Posts with similar sentiments also have been found on social media linked to the shooters, the source said. Investigators also checking a note found a stolen U-Haul truck that the killers parked across from the market – a note that contained both anti-Semitic and anti-police writing, a law enforcement source told CNN. That man died Saturday, local media outlets, including NJ.com, reported.Īuthorities haven’t said what, if anything, links the weekend killing to Tuesday’s shootings, other than investigators believe Anderson and Graham were behind them all.

They were clearly targeting the Jersey City Police Department,” US Attorney Craig Carpenito said, partly citing surveillance video. Grewal and others stressed that once at the market, the shooters apparently fired only at people there, and at responding police officers, bypassing multiple opportunities to shoot others on the street. Grewal didn’t specify evidence pointing to a hate crime, though he said social media accounts believed linked to the shooters “espouse certain viewpoints.” While both shooters have expressed interest in the Black Hebrew Israelites movement, neither appear to have established formal links to the movement, Grewal said.
