| New Jersey shooting is being probed as an act of domestic terrorism motivated by anti-Semitism – State AG | |
| (32 minutes later) | |
| The attack on a Jersey City kosher grocery is being investigated as an act of domestic terrorism motivated by anti-Semitism and police hatred, authorities announced. Six people including the attackers died in Tuesday's shootout. | |
| The investigation into the shooting at JC Kosher Supermarket is now a domestic terrorism probe, Attorney General Gurbir Grewal and New Jersey US Attorney Craig Carpenito told reporters on Thursday, adding that the violence was believed to be motivated by anti-Semitism and hatred of law enforcement. | |
| “The evidence points towards acts of hate,” Grewal said. | |
| One of the shooters, identified as David Anderson, was linked on Wednesday to the Black Hebrew Israelites, a fringe black supremacist group. Anderson made anti-Semitic and anti-police posts online before embarking on the shooting spree, according to law enforcement. A “manifesto-style note” was also found in the stolen U-Haul Anderson and his companion, a woman named Francine Graham, were driving. | |
| Authorities are reportedly examining social media posts made by Anderson and Graham to learn more about their beliefs. | |
| While the attack was initially thought to be random, surveillance footage showed the pair deliberately targeted the kosher market, driving there after gunning down a detective who attempted to question them about a recent murder in which they were also suspects. | |
| They shot three more civilians inside the store before they were themselves killed by police in a gun battle that lasted for several hours. | |
