Shooting has become one of the most horrifying incidents in recent times, with many being victims to the same. On 11th December, the world woke up to terrible news of the New Jersey shooting where multiple people were killed and injured including police officers. According to reports, a second officer was hurt on the shoulders by gunfire, and two others were injured by shrapnel. The shooting took place in a supermarket where two suspects and five bystanders were killed in the gunfire that broke at around 12.30 pm and ended before 2 pm. There was a school nearby but all the staff and students were saved as it was locked down. The police are investigating what motivated the gunfire.

Twitterati expressed their remorse on hearing about New Jersey shooting:

#NewJersey #shooting: 6 killed, 2 suspected shooters. The motivation appears to be criminal. Incident happened on a street in Jersey City where synagogue and kosher grocery store located. The incident resulted from #drug deal gone wrong and not terror or hate crime. pic.twitter.com/6CkzAfmay2
