Daily Mail – Six people have been killed in an hours-long shoot-out in Jersey City after a male and female suspect launched a two-hour gun battle with a SWAT team that reportedly began in a cemetery and ended with them being shot dead inside a bodega. The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office confirmed that one police officer was fatally shot and two others were wounded along with a civilian in the active shooter situation on Martin Luther King Drive on Tuesday afternoon. An unnamed federal law enforcement source told Fox News that two juvenile suspects – one male and one female – were shot and killed in a

stand-off with police, along with three other people who were inside the bodega. A third suspect, described by the source as a black male wearing all black, is still at large. Gunfire erupted outside the JC Kosher Supermarket just after 12pm as police officers reported over radio that two armed suspects armed with long guns had barricaded themselves inside and were shooting at anyone who approached the storefront. The gunshots continued for the next two hours, according to witnesses, as a heavy police presence from local, state and federal law enforcement agencies flocked to the scene and 12 schools in the county were placed on lockdown.
