4 die in Fla mass shooting
2018-08-26
A gunman is among the 'multiple fatalities' after a mass shooting broke out at an online gaming tournament in Florida that was partially captured on a horrifying livestream.

Local media are reporting that four people are dead and 11 have been injured in the shooting at the Jacksonville Landing complex in Jacksonville on Sunday afternoon.

The Jax Sheriff's Office confirmed there were multiple fatalities and injuries and said one suspect was dead at the scene. It is unclear if there are any other suspects.

The shooting broke out during the Madden NFL online gaming tournament, which was being hosted at the Chicago Pizza restaurant.

Witnesses have said the shooter was a player who had just lost in the tournament. One witness told CNN he saw the gunman shoot multiple people before killing himself.

#2  I was doing LAN party gaming pre-decent internet. Took over most of the house. Star-craft, unreal, quake, Counter-strike.

Was one of the first on ADSL in the UK and we had a NT server running NAT for the USB internet connection, and we owned (until the opposition caught up)!

Fun times.
