Hell if I know? You’re asking about the undercover cop in the unmarked car assigned to protect the synagogue? So dude with a shotgun arrives outside of the equivalent of a church, and the undercover cop in the unmarked car confronts him, does it matter if the cop is Jewish? Buddy (Ward) with the shotgun, rolling up outside of the synagogue in Belleview,
probably wasn’t duck hunting.
"You are going to die for the Jews," Sean Ward says on the video as he began his attack. About two dozen congregants had gathered inside the building for services on the holy day. Bullets pierced the stained-glass windows, and worshippers dropped to the floor and took cover. No one inside the synagogue (or any ducks) were injured, though a police officer stationed outside was seriously wounded in the shootout.
Const. Jeff Smith was injured following an exchange of gunfire near the synagogue Sunday night on Yom Kippur. The suspect, 29-year-old Sean Ward, died in hospital.

He had a shotgun, a stockpile of ammunition and gasoline — enough, police say, to kill dozens of worshippers at a Belleville synagogue. Instead, a wounded officer stopped him, refusing to back down even after being shot multiple times.
The ambush at
the Sons of Jacob Synagogue during Yom Kippur last weekend injured Const. Jeff Smith who was stationed outside, Belleville Police Chief Murray Rodd told reporters Thursday. "Based on the evidence we've reviewed … (investigators) can confirm this was a hate-motivated crime," Rodd said.
Smith, the
probably not Jewish police officer, was in "critical-stable" condition Monday. Two days later, his
probably not Jewish wife, Ashley Smith,
said in a post on social media that her husband "has a very long, difficult road ahead" but is "fighting."
