New developments in shootout that left 6 dead in New Jersey
Seals, a veteran of the Jersey City Police Department, likely did not know the extent of the danger he was in when he approached the suspects' U-Haul van in Bay View Cemetery in Jersey City on Dec. 10 and was gunned down, officials said. Evidence found in the U-Haul van the suspects had stolen suggests they initially planned to target a Jewish community center in Bayonne until they ran into Seals, who just happened to be in the cemetery meeting an informant, Craig Carpenito, U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, said at a news conference.Carpenito said Seals, a 40-year-old married father of five, “probably saved dozens if not more lives.
Security video released earlier by investigators showed Anderson parking the van in front of the supermarket, exiting the vehicle and immediately opening fire with an AR-15-style rifle as he entered the store followed by Graham who was wielding a shotgun. Two days later on Dec. 3, the pair fired two shots into a vehicle near Newark International Airport. The targeted car was driven by a man “visibly of the Jewish faith,” who escaped injury, authorities said.
