Melech 9,900 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 An assailant involved in a prolonged firefight in Jersey City, N.J., that left six people dead, including one police officer, had published anti-Semitic and anti-police posts online and investigators believe the attack was motivated by those sentiments, a law enforcement official familiar with the case said on Wednesday. Investigators also found a manifesto-style note inside the assailants’ van, the law enforcement official and another official familiar with the case said. The document, which was described as brief and “rambling,” suggested no clear motive for the shooting. Investigators also found a live pipe bomb inside the vehicle, the law enforcement official said. The law enforcement official could not provide more details about the suspect’s online posts or where they had been published. He said investigators were still reviewing that information. So far, the authorities have not identified the attackers, who were killed in the firefight. None of the three victims inside the store have been publicly named by officials, but multiple people connected to the Jewish community in Jersey City have identified two of them as Mindel Ferencz, 33, the wife of the market owner, and Moshe Deutch, a 24-year-old rabbinical student who lives in Brooklyn. The Jersey City police officer who was killed was identified on Tuesday as Detective Joe Seals, a 15-year law enforcement veteran and a father of five. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/11/nyregion/jersey-city-shooting.html?fbclid=IwAR2_Q4osO4Ip_Rgrkn9CXFtc2GKwnBkS-xAEAvswUJEyVPKVb-TVOOpP0qY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
