It just keeps getting worse ..
Drug deal gone wrong I CALL BULLSHIT , this was an act of terrorism
Joseph Ortiz yeh… Drug dealers don’t carry around pipe bombs
Bryan Strazz exactly
it was a homicide investigation if you listen. They shot the cop in the head and fled in the Uhaul
Dawn Higgins ur wrong
Okay that doesn’t explain the pipe bombs , this was an act of terrorism don’t be blind .
Absolutely disgusting and sickening
Terrorist attack
Oh wow. So sad. I thought it was a bad drug deal?
Priscilla Mason what drug dealers use pipe bomb?? More likely terrorist
Dave Tober I only had heard about a drug deal when I watched the news earlier. But obviously it was something bigger
Victor Lucatorto
Not in that line of work anymore but my heart hurts for the families, godbless them victims including the police officers
How does this happen in NJ
Paul Yager same way it does anywhere else I would think
They keep saying the uhaul was HOT
Uhaul was Hot
Pipe bomb recovered and removed
Awilda Santiago
Question is, where was that truck headed
Dean Booth agreed….
Dean Booth they said the Holland tunnel, perfect time for a terror attack people going to NYC for the tree, plus the cops were on high alert last week when they lit the tree
Uugghhj
Funny… Toni Yates just said Jersey Shitty.
Literally JUST said on the news that they did NOT find anything in the Uhaul.
Sheri Diana-Limone incorrect they recovered pipe bombs
Joseph Ortiz I’m just saying what the news said as I read this. Very conflicting reports all over.
I was just listening to my scanner app and heard several police saying they were checking for booby traps and sweeping for bombs so yes, they would do that if pipe bombs were recovered. So sorry for the senseless loss of lives.
Sheri Diana-Limone I heard the same thing and they said it seem like a drug deal gone bad since when do they bring pipe bombs to a drug deal?? ????????♀️
No need for the police to solve this
Paul Hewitt stfu . Not the time for stupidity
Laura Lange awww poooor baby
Hot take from snowflake Paul
Time to just start marching through these cities with our army n just take out all the trash. No questions asked . Simple as that ????
Timothy Figlo with your army huh? Sounds pretty 1775…
Jeff Rey not my army,our army.
Timothy Figlo its not my army if they’re firing on American citizens on American soil
Jeff Rey american citizens? You mean animals
Timothy Figlo ok I’ll play along, we’ll go with your separation of American citizens and animals…. How’s your redcoat army gonna march through each city and determine who is who and who they’re going to “take out”?
We have such strict gun laws in this state, how is this possible?
Christopher Micheal you can get weapons anywhere you want if you want them real bad..gun laws does not stop some criminal from getting a weapon
Bad guys dont follow laws duh….. only good people do and it leaves us defenceless.
Christopher Micheal Yea. Like every other Democratic run State and city with strict gun laws. Doesn’t solve anything!! And tie that in with the restrictive laws preventing police officers from searches. Not good!!
Other countries have less violence with stricter restrictions please look into the statistics before you cry about your stupid guns being taken away.
If those other countries are safer then by all means GO
Christopher Micheal Really?! Here’s a few possible scenarios:
1. They could have illegally obtained them.
2. They could have obtained them from a state with laws that are more lax.
3. It’s possible for them to have obtained them legally if they had no prior record.
4. Someone else could have obtained them legally and either let them use them or they were stolen.
God forbid we say something right away we will be accused of racism! So let’s see how this plays out and what the outcome will be and what really happened!
Gloria I’m going to go all in. I got radical islamist and act of terrorism
Michael Thomas me too!
Vast majority of terrorism in this country is perpetrated by white men
do they know of a motive? hate crime?terrorists?
Kim Camley Taylor hate crime religious
Guarantee this is an act of terrorism
What a horrific day in Jersey City.
My heart goes out to the officer’s family and his fellow officers and colleagues at JCPD. ????
So glad I moved out…
So sorry for all involved injured and pray for
Those who lost a loved one
What I the world is going on here? Devastating.
Guess NJ needs more bomb control laws??
Over, and over, and over, and over. Almost every day we learn an officer has been shot and killed. It’s become a sickening, daily tragedy.
I offer prayers for those shot – and their families. May Saint Michael watch over and protect our men and women in uniform.
Senseless and heartbreaking.
Wow Jersey city Home of the terrorist. Don’t forget during 911 they were celebrating in the streets there . Crazy day ,prayers for the family’s of those who lost their lives today.
Proof pls
Would be less if we could carry
Ronald Smith vigilantes aren’t the answer cowboy.
Lisa Miller Herbert it’s called having the right to protect yourself. But you can wait for the police id rather live.
Agree, id rather protect myself then be defenseless
Police are useless till they get there but even then some are questionable
Was working on the Newark bay extension while this was going on.
I was there working on a building a block over. It was insane. Me and my crew got out just in time. We all knew this was bigger then gang war BS. This was a real as it gets. I’m a Stafford boy, born and raised. We’re not used to this shit. Prayers to those that didn’t make it today. I’m counting my blessings knowing how easily it could have been one of us.
Aside from being one of strictest gun law states that will never stop these situations from happening we need to get respect back to our nation…Prayers to all the families affected by this
HCPO: MAN FOUND DEAD IN TRUNK OF CAR
Condolences to the victims, officers and families.
Oh my. This is just insane.
Teresa Aufiero Petitclair holy crap. ????
Pipe bombs are illegal, Don’t these criminals know that. I am assuming their weapons were not legally obtained either. Another sad day for the Police.
Rob Lewis
Praying for the JCPD family and for the wounded . ➖????➖
Bee Brown Sharon Flood sounds like more than a drug deal gone bad ????
I think it will take a while for the story to shake out – somewhere else it said they ere going to be questioned about a homicide.
Sharon Flood – The original story read that the police officer that got killed stopped the UHaul because he had an indication to believe that it partook in a murder over the weekend in Bayonne and one of the guys got out and shot the cop that is how he got hit in the head
Linda Lou yes
Brandon
Completely irresponsible journalism. No pipe bombs found.
Ken Burak 2 have shrapnel injuries?
Bruce Beyer no they don’t. I could be wrong, but show me proof from multiple credible sources.
My condolences to the families of all affected. ????
Did the police recover their legal gun licenses?
RIP to the victims of the shootings.
Terrible just terrible my brother is a retired JCPD
We need a right to carry in N.J.
Thoughts and prayers, bitches.
