Total HAVOC in Jersey City!
Multiple news sources reported there was an “ambush” at a Jersey City bodega Tuesday afternoon (Dec. 10th). 43 Jersey City schools have been shut down.
Officers were investigating a murder and approached one of the suspects. That’s when the gun war started, and one of the suspects opened fire. Then the suspects held up a nearby bodega.
Three innocent civilians were shot at the deli, as well as an officer. Two of the suspects were shot and killed. The death toll total is six.
The scene was filled with heavily armed local and state officers in SWAT trucks as well as Federal ATF and FBI agents.
#FBI is on scene in Jersey City. The public is asked to stay away from the area of MLK Drive near the light rail station as well as Bay View cemetery. Your cooperation is appreciated.
