The Jacksonville Landing shooting was a mass shooting that happened on August 26, 2018, at a Madden NFL 19 video game tournament at the Jacksonville Landing in Jacksonville, Florida.[2] Three people were killed, including the shooter, and eleven others were injured.[3]
The shooter, 24 year-old David Katz, was a competitor in the tournament who lost.[4] He left and then came back with a gun and fired 12 shots.[5] Katz was the only suspect and had only one handgun.
In addition to the gunman, two people were confirmed killed: Taylor Robertson, age 27, and Eli Clayton, age 22.[6]
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office urged individuals to stay away from the location at 2:13 p.m. EDT, and SWAT officers evacuated and searched the area.[7]
U.S. President Donald Trump contacted Florida Governor Rick Scott, offering federal assistance in response to the shooting.[8]
