                          Jersey City Shooting

  Mr. SCHUMER. Madam President, I learned yesterday that two of the 
innocent victims in the shooting in Jersey City earlier this week are 
from my hometown, my home borough, the great borough of Brooklyn--Moshe 
Deutsch and Mindy Ferencz--and that the kosher deli where they were all 
killed in all likelihood was targeted as part of a hate crime.
  This morning, I stand in solidarity with the Jewish communities of 
New Jersey and New York as they confront the anti-Semitic poison that 
motivated that horrible attack, and I stand in sorrow at the loss of 
innocent lives from my community. May their memory be a blessing.
  I also salute the great police officer, as well, who fell in the line 
of duty trying to apprehend these brutal thugs.
