A video game tournament in Jacksonville, Florida turned deadly after a gunman opened fire Sunday afternoon. The horrific incident took place at a EA Sports sanctioned Madden tournament in The Landing. A 24-year-old gamer David “Bread” Katz of Baltimore reportedly opened fire inside of the pizza shop after being eliminated from the tournament earlier in the day.
The incident was partially captured during a live stream on Twitch. Gamers, Wesley “Joe Rice” Gittens and Eli “Trueboy” Clayton were competing before gunfire was heard. Just before the signal was cut, you see a red laser from Katz’s weapon aimed at Clayton’s chest, as well as someone crying out, “What did he shoot me with?”
