A Jersey City, New Jersey, police officer will be laid to rest Tuesday, one week after he was shot dead before a massive gun battle.
The two suspects -- armed with multiple guns -- then stormed the Jersey City Kosher Supermarket, about 1 mile from the cemetery, where they allegedly killed three others.The motivation behind Seals' murder and the market attack"clearly appears to be a bias towards both the Jewish community and law enforcement," said Craig Carpenito, U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey.
"We believe he was killed while trying to interdict these bad guys," Jersey City Police Chief Michael Kelly said, according to WABC.
