New Jersey is investigating the shooting at a Jersey City kosher supermarket as ‘potential acts of domestic terror, fueled both by anti-Semitism and anti-law enforcement beliefs,’ said state Attorney General Gurbir Grewal
NEW YORK - A fatal gun rampage at a kosher grocery store in northern New Jersey this week is now being treated as an act of domestic terrorism and the FBI will oversee the investigation, federal and state law enforcement officials said on Thursday.
The U.S. attorney for New Jersey, Craig Carpenito, told the news conference that the Federal Bureau of Investigation would lead the probe. A fourth person who was in the market escaped after the shooters entered. Officials declined to identify that person. Law enforcement recovered five guns linked to the two suspects, Grewal said. Four of them were recovered inside the kosher supermarket and one was recovered inside the van.
