The supermarket was the second of two locations involved in the shooting attack. The incident began with a shooting in Bayview Cemetery, with a police officer being shot. After the shooters were pursued by the police, they then fled to the store, from where they continued shooting.
The revelation that the store was a targeted location is a frightening update to a story which was until now understood to just be a criminal investigation gone awry.

Jared!!!! Start saving Jews!!!! With your father in law we are all in a deep hara.
Duh. There is one kosher store in the city and they holed up in there. We didn’t think it was coincidence. Thanks Mr. Fulop for stating the obvious.
Why is there a WHITE democrat mayor for a predominantly black City?!
So they’re carrying pipe bombs, murder a police officer, and then kill Jews and it takes them a whole day to work out Jews were targets. Next we’ll find out their names were Mohammed…
This is what happens when common sense it overtaken by political correctness.
“There are fine people on both sides of this” said the Libtards to themselves. Rabbeinu Meir was correct: Every Jew a 22.
Their original target was the Talmud Torah next door
A running gun battle for a few hours that starts in a cemetery and ends in a Jewish store? Not necessarily clear that the store was the focus.
JCPD is doing its investigation. Now they think the store was a target and they immediately said so.
Very easy to “monday morning quarterback this” and say “see! I knew it immediately!”
Well – you guys happy? You got your embassy moved, all for the low low price of having a racist jew hating president in the white house, where white supremacy crimes have increased dramatically since he took office. Congrats guys, well done, you got your embassy moved!!
As long as Satmar and NK spend all their time attacking Israel and collaborating with arab and iran terror leaders, the lack of Jewish solidarity makes us an easy target. And trumpf’s psychotic embrace of white nationalism nazis doesn’t help.
