6 killed in U.S. New Jersey shootout, including 2 suspects

Six people have died, including a police officer, three civilians and two suspects, in a shootout on Tuesday in Jersey City, northeastern U.S. state of New Jersey.

Most victims' bodies were found in a kosher grocery store in the southern portion of the city after the gunfire, local media reported.

An NHK crew that arrived at the scene about half an hour after the incident saw many armed officers and heard bursts of gunfire.

Police say they have found no evidence that the incident is an act of terror. 
They've blocked off the neighborhood to investigate.

A series of deadly gun attacks have occurred in the US this month.

Two workers were killed at a naval shipyard in Oahu, Hawaii on December 4. 
Two days later, a shooting at a navy base in Florida left three people dead.
