Jacksonville shooting suspect identified

Reuters - A video gamer killed two people and wounded several others on Sunday (August 26) when he opened fire with a handgun at a tournament that was being streamed online from a restaurant in Jacksonville, 

Florida,

 police said. Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams named the shooter as David Katz, 24, of Baltimore and said he was in town for the competition. He declined to comment on what led to the third major mass 

shooting

 to hit 

Florida

 in the last two years. Williams said Katz killed himself after the 

shooting

 and that his body was found along with those of his two victims. Williams said nine people were wounded by gunfire, and at least two others were injured while fleeing the scene. Dozens of ambulances and police cars flooded into The Jacksonville Landing, a waterfront dining, entertainment, and shopping site in the city's downtown, after several shots rang out on a sunny Sunday afternoon. The 

shooting

 took place during a regional qualifier for the Madden 19 online game tournament at the GLHF Game Bar inside a Chicago Pizza restaurant, according to the venue's website. The bar was live streaming the football video game competition when the gunfire started, according to the video of the stream shared on social media. In the video, players can be seen reacting to the shots and cries can be heard before the footage cuts off.
