Residents of Jersey City, New Jersey, paused on Thursday to commemorate the first anniversary of the deadly antisemitic gun attack that resulted in the deaths of a police officer and three individuals at a kosher market in the Greenville neighborhood.
“On today’s somber one-year anniversary, it’s with heavy hearts that we remember the four lives lost during an attack on the Jewish community and law enforcement in Jersey City,” the New Jersey office of the Department for Homeland Security (DHS) tweeted. “There is #noplaceforhate in this state, and we will strive to keep New Jersey safe and secure for all.”
