A man and a woman who shot dead four people before being killed were considering trying to kill dozens of Jewish children at a Yeshiva that was attached to the grocery store they attacked, Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop said.

“My opinion is that as more info comes out it’ll become increasingly clear that the target was the 50 children at the Yeshiva attached to that store. We will never know 100 percent but the doorway to the yeshiva was 3 feet away + it seems he goes in that direction 1st,” Fulop said in a statement on Friday.
