Hundreds of people flocked to New Jersey streets Wednesday to mourn the death of 24-year-old Satmar devotee Moshe Deutsch and 33-year-old Leah Franz, who were killed during the anti-Semitic shooting event in a Jersey grocery store Tuesday . At the shooting event, a police officer, three civilians and two shooting operatives were killed.

Despite the intense cold, many members of the Jewish community in the city embarked on a march in honor of the murdered. Hundreds of community members escorted Leah Peretz's coffin in the Greenwich neighborhood of the neighborhood synagogue under construction, while at the same time, hundreds more members of the Jersey Satmar Orthodox community escorted the closet of stalwart Moshe Deutsch outside the Brooklyn synagogue.

While the funerals of the victims of the anti-Semitic shooting campaign occurred, police investigators and security forces were still trying to understand what motivated the two shooters to embark on such a brutal shooting campaign.

The residents of the Jewish neighborhood are still in awe after the shooting event that took place at a kosher supermarket near the synagogue where many Jews in the neighborhood pray. Rabbi Shmuli Levitin of Chabad Center in Jersey City: "It's the only grocery store in Jersey, it's such a warm and cohesive community that usually gets along great with the non-Jewish residents of the neighborhood." Rabbi Levitin added: "It's devastating that something like this happened to them".

In the shadow of reports that one of the shooters posted anti-Semitic content on social networks, last night a government official in Jersey revealed that the shooters had missed many targets that were available to them to attack this specific target. Meanwhile, the names of the shooters killed during the exchange of gunfire with police forces were allowed: 50-year-old Francine Graham and 47-year-old David Anderson, who, as stated, posted that Anderson had posted anti-Semitic posts on social networks.
