NYC mayor: NJ shooting was premeditated, violent anti-Semitic crime

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio calls yesterday’s deadly shooting at a kosher supermarket in New Jersey “a premeditated, violent, anti-Semitic hate crime.”

“In other words, you can say it was an act of terror,” he adds.

However, it is unclear from what authority de Blasio is speaking as the Mayor of Jersey City Steven Folup refrained from using the term anti-Semitic to describe the attack, saying the matter was still being investigated.
