A shootout in Jersey City has left several people dead, including one police officer, after local reports said two gunmen fired on authorities.

The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office confirmed the officer fatality and advised residents to avoid the block where the shooting unfolded Tuesday afternoon. Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop said there were “multiple deceased” in a building where authorities and suspects exchanged fire.

Live video from the scene showed a large police response and scores of heavily armed officers. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Newark said its agents were responding to “reports of an active shooter” in the northeastern New Jersey city, which sits between Newark and the southern tip of Manhattan.

The locus of the shooting was a convenience store near Martin Luther King Drive and Bidwell Avenue, near Sacred Heart School, where staff locked the school down, a spokeswoman told The Washington Post.
