Not to excuse or make light of the completely inexcusable gun violence that occurs in America, but keep in mind that a good amount of those mass shootings are gang violence and not random indiscriminate killings in public places. And not that that is great either, but it is different than random mass shootings.
That is quite true. An unfortunate and sad situation all around, really.

People targeting cops with a long gun is a daily occurrence?
Oh, no not that. My apologies, seemed like you were referring to shootings in general.

So I was listening to the live feed, they do not have the situation contained yet right? Seems like not that much radio chatter for what is still considered an active incident. Or do I have my facts wrong?

I am from NJ, have friends in the area, so do have a vested interest in the whole situation.

Situation doesn't sound contained.

Huh. Google Maps is pinpointing the shooting. Never seen them do that before.

I was listening to the feed like 30 minutes ago, and they said 2 shooters were down at some point. So i had assumed it was over, is it not?

Neat. A little over a mile from my apartment. Awesome. Totally rad.

Fuck anyone who doesn't believe in strict gun control laws.

Any clue as to whether this was an ambush, or a robbery gone wrong?

It's a developing story, so who knows. This is what our local news says:

At least two shooters were firing from a storefront on MLK at anyone who passed by. It is believed that one other person was shot inside the store, JC Kosher Supermarket, located at 223 MLK Drive.

The two shooters, a man and a woman, were dressed in black. They arrived in the area in a U-Haul van, each carrying long guns into the supermarket, police said in radio transmissions. At 2:44 p.m. police reported in radio transmissions that "pipe bombs" were located in the U-Haul.

As always, most early reports are wrong so we'll see

Also near the university where I went to school because I recognized the area as part of the bus route I took. Stay safe!
I mean I read about much smaller crimes in that area but then I see "President Trump briefed" and I'm like wtf

Scary situation. Watching the ABC stream now.
They are talking about all 43 schools are still locked down and will remain locked down until the All Clear, as expected.

I'm just glad President Trump has been briefed and is on top of the situation!

Thanks for the quick response. This all sounds like a suicide mission to me
I know speculation isn't helpful in these situations, but the store in question seems to be a small kosher supermarket, next door to a synagogue. It's possible there's a religious angle involved. But obviously we should wait until we hear the facts. There hasn't been any reported news on that potential angle, as far as I've seen.

I have never seen a Turnpike exit shut down before. It looks like they're locking down the entire city.

It's still random and indiscriminate for innocent bystanders catching strays :-(

Until we know more I will keep my guesses to myself, but the place and lack of a theft motive so far could make one wonder.

My heart breaks for that cops family, 5 kids have had their lives ruined in a moment. What a shit-show this country is some days
