Jacksonville Video Game Shooting Kills 3, Injuries at Least 11
Multiple people were killed, and nearly a dozen others were injured on Sunday afternoon, after a male gunman opened fire in Jacksonville, Florida during a video game tournament.
The fatal incident took place at a shopping complex knowm as Jacksonville Landing during a competition between numerous players of the John Madden football game.
According to CNN and other news sources, the suspect has been identified as 24-year old David Katz.
He is a white male from Baltimore, Maryland and his took his own life inside the establishment after using at least one handgun to murder two unnamed individuals.
Police have confirmed that Katz was a participant in the aforementioned tournament, but his motive has not yet been established.
(Previous reports that he lost control after being eliminated from the content have not been verified.)
The Landing is an open-air marketplace with stores, bars and restaurants in downtown Jacksonville, along the St. Johns River.
Because those playing at the time Katz opened fure were part of a qualifying event for a national tournament, there was a livestream of some of the games.
In one piece of footage posted to the website Twitch, several loud gunshots can be heard and the game abruptly stops.
We’re not going to play that awful footage here, but you can hear chaos in the background, as well as a multitude of curse words and one person shouting out:
“Oh f-ck! What’d he shoot me with?”
A series of 12 total gunshots can be heard in this video.
In addition to those killed, 11 people were transported to hospitals with injuries, including nine with gunshot wounds.
Memorial Hospital spokesman Pete Moberg told CNN that at least three patients transported there were in stable condition, while tournament participant Ryan Alemon told the outlet hat he observed “at least six bodies” of shooting victims “on the floor.”
Until the suspect was announced dead and no others believed to have played a role in the shooting, authories kept locals apprised of the situation via social media.
They told everyone to stay far away from the area; and they told those already there to take cover and to remain hidden until they received word it was safe.
“We ask you to stay calm, stay where you are hiding,” the Sheriff’s Office wrote at one point. “SWAT is doing a methodical search inside The Landing. We will get to you. Please don’t come running out.
A search is pending of the gunman’s vehicle, Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams said at a press conference.
Officers with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the FBI are assisting in Baltimore, he added.
Wrote one tournament participant, 19-year-old Drini Gjoka, on Twitter:
“The tourney just got shot up. [I’m leaving] and never coming back…
“I am literally so lucky. The bullet hit my thumb. Worst day of my life.”
“The nation once again looks to Florida with grief and heavy hearts,” former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was seriously wounded in a mass shooting, said in a statement, adding:
“The massacre in Jacksonville is a tragic reminder of the threats we face from gun violence, no matter who we are or where our day takes us.
“And it’s yet another devastating indictment of this country’s inability to keep our kids safe.”
This shooting comes about one month after a shooting at the Capital Gazette newspaper in Maryland killed five people.
A month prior to that, 10 people were killed at Santa Fe High School in Texas.
Three months before that, 17 people were fatally shot at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida.
Expect many politicians to offer their thoughts and prayers and to do absolutely nothing in the wake of these tragedies.

Capital Gazette Reporter Tweets Horror of Latest Mass Shooting
Another mass shooting has taken place in America.
On Thursday afternoon, a gunman broke into the offices of The Capital Gazette in Maryland, opening fire and killing at least five individuals and wounding many others.
According to law enforcement officials, an unnamed suspect is in custody, but very little is known about him at the moment.
We can confirm, however, that the suspect was found hiding under a desk inside the building and that a package (or carrying device of some kind), which contained a flammable liquid, was discovered near him on the ground.
Police have also said the suspect was an adult male and that he used a “long gun” to carry out his massacre.
More than 170 people were in the building during the shooting; those who did not suffer any injuries were evacuated and taken to a reunification area.
Among those unharmed was reporter Phil Davis, who has made headlines for Tweeting a few details from the awful incident.
“There is nothing more terrifying than hearing multiple people get shot while you’re under your desk and then hear the gunman reload,” Davis Tweeted at one point on Thursday, adding:
“Gunman shot through the glass door to the office and opened fire on multiple employees. Can’t say much more and don’t want to declare anyone dead, but it’s bad.
“A single shooter shot multiple people at my office, some of whom are dead.”
In a later interview posted on the newspaper’s website, Davis said the scene inside the newspaper’s office “was like a war zone,” expounding:
“I’m a police reporter.
“I write about this stuff – not necessarily to this extent, but shootings and death – all the time. But as much as I’m going to try to articulate how traumatizing it is to be hiding under your desk, you don’t know until you’re there and you feel helpless.”
Elsewhere, Jimmy DeButts, an editor at the Capital Gazette, Tweeted that he was “devastated & heartbroken,” explaining why it is he and his co-workers do the jobs they do:
We keep doing more with less. We find ways to cover high school sports, breaking news, tax hikes, school budgets & local entertainment.. We are there in times of tragedy.
“We do our best to share the stories of people, those who make our community better. Please understand, we do all this to serve our community.”
Along these lines, the newspaper has said it has no plans of going on hiatus or taking any sort of break.
“I can tell you this: We are putting out a damn paper tomorrow,” reporter Chase Cook Tweeted.
President Donald Trump, has has often referred to the press as the “enemy of the people,” something he reiterated two days ago at a rally in South Carolina, chimed in as follows on social media:
“Prior to departing Wisconsin, I was briefed on the shooting at Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland.
“My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. Thank you to all of the First Responders who are currently on the scene.”
Added the First Lady on Twitter:
“Today’s violence at the Capital Gazette was tragic & evil.
“My heart goes out to all affected in this brutal & senseless attack, & I send thoughts & prayers for comfort to the friends, family & colleagues of those killed & injured.”
Anne Arundel County Police spokesman Lt. Ryan Frashure said that officers were on the scene “very, very quickly, I think it was around 60 seconds or a minute-and-a-half” after receiving the call about the active shooter.
As of this writing, the suspect is said to not be cooperating with police.
Here is a look at the building where the shooting took place:
Maryland Governor Larry Hogan has also released a statement about this shooting at the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, saying at a press conference:
“We are terribly saddened by the loss of five members of our community in today’s heinous shooting.
“The Capital Gazette is my hometown paper, and I have the greatest respect for the fine journalists, and all the men and women, who work there.
“They serve each day to shine light on the world around us so that we might see with more clarity and greater understanding.
“There is no place in our society for this kind of hatred and violence, and the individual responsible for this horrendous crime must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
UPDATE:
Anne Arundel Police Deputy Chief Bill Krampf has now confirmed this was a “targeted attack” against the newspaper.
