2 Shooters Fire At Civilians, Police From Jersey City Rooftops

Yet another stunning active-shooter incident is unfolding Tuesday afternoon in New Jersey City, as two armed suspects fire on police officers using what appear to be sniper rifles as the shooters jump from rooftop to rooftop trying to escape, according to local media reports.

Loud gunshots can be heard in videos posted to social media. At the end of the video below, a man can be heard shouting “they took him out”, though more gunshots followed.

Those are .50 BMGs.

I had a scoped (Leupold 4.5–14×50 Mark 4) Barrett M82A1 Semi-Auto, but sold it a few years ago.

I also still have a .50 Beowulf, on an AR platform.

I had not heard of that, so I checked out a video.
Thanks for the info.

"Five Jews and a cherished police officer were killed in addition to two suspects during a protracted shootout at a kosher supermarket in Jersey City, New Jersey, that saw hundreds of bullets exchanged between possible drug suspects and police over a period of at least three hours in a residential area chosen as the new home of a fervently religious Jewish community priced out of Brooklyn."

Not to speculate, but do drug dealers ordinarily carry "hundreds of bullets" with them? If not, most of those bullets must have come from elsewhere. And also not to speculate, but the chances that the perps would expend the rounds that they did have on 5 hostages must be less than 100%. The hostages would be useless to them when dead.

NJ does not have a death penalty. The worst that was going to happen to them -- if taken alive -- was life in prison.

This after "a cherished police officer" had just been murdered.

It will automagically turn into just one shooter, and all the witnesses, each time, every time, are wrong.

Amazing how the extra shooter several people see each incident, rushing away after shooting, never found, somehow disappears. Those David Copperfield Las Vegas stage magician shows couldn't have done better than the Deep State.

Cops to witness: "The shooter say anything you could hear?"

Witness: "Can't tell what. It was all in Arabic."

I am in the north NJ area and all of the media reports on this incident are still very vague outside of the number of casualties and a general description of the incident itself. Oh; and all of the media outlets are indicating that there is no evidence of terrorism. Interesting how they can come up with a motive or a lack thereof so quickly.

No details on what precipitated this event, no description of the perps, etc. Either the shooters are not white, MAGA-hat wearing Trump supporters, or the dead civilians in the store were killed by 'friendly fire' from the police or a combination of both, so everyone is being relatively tight-lipped until a proper narrative can be created and released to the media.

A sniper rifle is any rifle employed by a sniper. The same rifle in the hands of a hunter is a hunting rifle.

So, the Police should not have fired into the store to neutralize the terrorists? (yes, they were terrorists...domestic or other.)

So, the brave cops should have backed up and grabbed a bullhorn, pleading with monsters to play nice?

So, LEA should have let them continue their attack, and maybe expand it to thr Yeshiva across the street where a hundred students and teachers huddled in fear?

This was not a reprise of Dog Day Afternoon!

Funny that a report said "It will take days or even weeks to sort through the case as three crime scenes and a UHaul are involved."

Or, like the mysterious Las Vegas mass shooting, it takes a long time to write fiction.

I think you’re onto something. Mass killers, caught in the act, or later caught and convicted, should be used as human Guinea pigs to test and develop “extreme” interrogation methods. Figure out what works, and how far you can push it before the subject dies in agony. Of course to find this limit we’ll have to test to the fatal point. We’ll also need to repeat experiments on multiple subjects to develop a statistical basis. Once developed we can utilize these on terrorists captured here or overseas.

Don’t you know, any rifle that isn’t an AR is a sniper rifle. /S

It’s Jersey City. Who could bring a camera in there to photograph dancing Muslims or anything, and expect to leave with the camera.

The audio sounded like a big fire fight. Somebody was geared up and not worried about running out of ammo.

Being drawn and quartered and then having your intestines pulled out and burned while still alive was practiced in England and elsewhere. That and other “cruel and unusual” punishments were not all that effective. Meanwhile, since my late father was living in Jersey City and renting to marginal people, I will follow this story with interest.
