GUILTY NJ - Detective Joseph Seals, slain, 5 others killed including 2 suspects, Jersey City, 9 Dec 2019

Seems to me something known to LE was going down where it began. In the Cemetery. Sky news describes the Cemetery as huge, hilly, and wooded with very old trees and some large monuments. From this description it feels like LE knew something was to go down. It doesn't sound like they drove by and just happened to spot something suspicious. IMO What's with the Uhaul??? That much product??? Guns, drugs??? Latest 5 found dead in store.
 
1 Cop, Multiple Others Killed in ‘Ambush’ NJ Active Shooter Situation

One police officer was killed and two others were shot during what a law enforcement source described as an "ambush" active shooter situation at a bodega in Jersey City Tuesday, the Hudson County prosecutor said.

There are multiple dead inside the bodega as well, Mayor Steven Fulop said. Law enforcement sources identified the dead officer as a married father of five.

At least one wounded civilian, along with the two wounded officers, are expected to survive, officials said.

According to three senior law enforcement officials, the shoot-out began as a homicide investigation. The deceased officer
approached suspects in that investigation and was shot and killed. The suspects then fled into the bodega, where the standoff started.

One law enforcement source said at least one man was holed up in a bodega with a long gun for hours. That man and another suspect are believed to have been injured in the hours-long shootout, a senior official briefed on the matter says. One suspect was believed to still be in the bodega, while another may have tried to escape to a nearby school.
 
I’m wondering if the drug deal was a controlled buy with undercover officers and/or confidential informants. If it was, it was likely a pretty large buy and LE was on point with officers ready and in the area.
 
Officer, 5 Others Dead in ‘Ambush’ NJ Active Shooter Situation
Snipped

Senior law enforcement officials tell News 4 it appears the suspect or suspects arrived at the scene in a truck. They want to check that truck as a precaution to ensure the vehicle itself is not a threat.

Federal ATF and FBI agents in Newark also confirmed they were responding to the scene to assist as needed, as was the NYPD's Special Ops team. About a dozen schools in the vicinity were locked down initially. By 2 p.m., the lockdown order extended to every public school in the entire city, the district's superintendent said.

Truck=uhaul?
 
IDK how accurate, but Fox reported earlier that an undercover officer had been shot at nearby cemetery. The perps ran from cemetery, through neighborhood and into the deli.

I've been watching FNN since it broke.

Honestly I trust FNN more than any other news site.

They are usually very careful in releasing only information they can verify.

Its a sad sad day for everyone there, and for our nation.

The past few days Fox has had news stories reporting police officer after police officer who have been shot, and murdered in the line of duty just in the past few days even before this happened.

More of our police officers have been killed in the line of duty this year on our own soil than our soldiers and Marines in Afghanistan.

It seems to be getting more, and more deadly dangerous for our police officers who sacrifice so much in order to protect us all.

God bless them all, and their families. Our heroic officers are willing to laydown their own lives to protect all in every place they serve. Today another one has been murdered in the line of duty. Sigh. This madness must end.

This hero's watch has now ended. May he rest in eternal peace among his many brothers and sisters in blue who have gone on to Heaven before him.

My heart goes out to every one of the victims today who's lives have ended senselessly, and to all of their shattered families who's lives have been changed forever.
