Statement by Michael R. Bloomberg on Shooting in Jersey City, New Jersey

"The despicable attack in Jersey City is part of a deeply disturbing pattern of violence against the Jewish community that is — and it's hard to believe this could be true in 2019 America — all too common."

"We mourn the four who are dead, including a police officer who devoted his life to protecting us, but we must do more than mourn. We must stop violent extremism and adopt laws that make it harder for dangerous people to get their hands on guns."
