Florida police respond to mass shooting at Madden video game tournament in Jacksonville


A suspect is dead and there were multiple other fatalities after a "mass shooting" on Sunday in downtown Jacksonville, Fla., at a popular area filled with bars and restaurants, police said.

Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said there were "multiple fatalities" from the mass shooting at Jacksonville Landing and many people were transported to the hospital.

"One suspect is dead at the scene, unknown at this time if we have a second suspect. Searches are being conducted," Jacksonville Sheriff's Office tweeted.

Police did not provide further information, but said they "can’t stress enough to stay away. Many blocks away," adding that "If you are hiding in The Landing. Call 911 so we can get to you."

All young white males need to have mental health evaluation because they are so angry and creating mass killing. Something is truly wrong with them.

From what I have read, the shooter was a player (not confirmed with the powers that be).
So, my hunch is that, someone was losing and could not handle it. Sad, that our children do not know how to lose, or lose gracefully. They can't take criticism, being called a name, being last on a list, being told they are wrong, etc...I see it on fields, school and even young adults at a work place..
Sorry for the lost lives however, mental health may not be the issue in the case, parenting may...

More people have been shot in Chicago since Friday, as of noon today. 2 weeks ago 74 people were shot, about13 killed from Friday to Sunday evening in Chicago. Where's the News coverage, the uproar?????.
Tired of it. Refuse to watch or listen to any more "mass Shooting" until the rest of the country realizes there are mass shootings every weekend in Chicago, Baltimore, New York, D.C., L.A. and who knows where else.
Trump has not lived up to his promise to send in the national guard. So, Time to take away your guns.
The "mass shootings" are in Chicago and elsewhere every weekend.. Not one day in Florida.

Genuine question. How does a guy from Baltimore get a handgun to Jacksonville?

Bought in FL? Drove to FL? Shipped legally in checked baggage on plane?

Eventually it will be determined but by then the news cycle will have moved on.

Condolences to families of deceased victims, and best wishes for complete, speedy recovery to those injured.

Now there will be a roundtable/blue ribbon committee asking why there wasn't medal detectors at this event. SMH.

This is the most ridiculous statement on the internet today. No not ALL young white males need to have mental health evaluations. These mass killings while very bad pale in comparison to what is going on in the inner cites. 1000's of murders a year in them and 10's of 1000's of non fatal shootings. Are you starting to see how ignorant you sound? If anything parents need to become parents and start taking charge of their children and stop ignoring warning signs. Same with the schools who because of obama era policies allow dangerous and violent students to avoid any punishment or mental health treatment. As far as inner city parents-they mostly are lost causees. They know how to make them babies but when it comes to being parents animals do a much better job.

If what you say is true then all non-white males should be locked up at birth. Non - white males create most of the problems we have in our major cities and even in Salisbury.

I guess that loser was over shadowed by all the black on black murders in Baltimore so he had to go all the way to Jacksonville to kill people. It isn't the fault of the gun. Society is breaking down. Mostly due to the over reaching State and Federal government.

I call for gun control. No liberals should be allowed to own a weapon. If liberals would stop shooting people we would have less shootings.

If your not a police officer and active duty members of the Armed Forces, no one in this country should have or own a weapon. Get a sling shooter for hunting. Gun owners of all nationality are reckless with their weapons. Downright reckless.

5:50, You are out of control. Seriously take the meds and go to bed.

5:50 I think the 2nd amendment says differently. Ideas such as yours create real fascist governments. I have weapons and have never acted in a reckless manner. I would suggest you pull your head out of your behind. Maybe if we locked up the crazies and criminals we would have less problems. Oh and by the way the idiot Katz was another liberal on mental meds. Go figure huh? I think Liberals are the problem not the guns. Every major city run by liberals is a crime pit. Most major cities vote blue. Liberals and there idiotic ideas are the real problem. Why don't you try an experiment and move to a country where guns are only in the hands of the police and military. I'd bet in the long run you would not like it so much.
