Heavy.com reports:
David Katz has been identified as the gunman who opened fire Sunday during a Madden NFL 19 video game tournament in Jacksonville, Florida, killing two people and wounding nine others, authorities said at a press conference.
The 24-year-old Katz, a Maryland resident who fatally shot himself at the scene, was described as a “disgruntled” gamer who had participated in the Madden tournament, sources told Fox News’ Rick Leventhal. Katz has used the names Bread, mrslicedbread, ravenschamp and ravens2012champ in Madden competitions.
The two gamers killed in the shooting have been identified as Eli “TrueBoy” Clayton and Taylor “SpotMePlzzz” Robertson, say they have not been heard from since the shooting and they are feared dead. TrueBoy was playing on the live stream when the shots rang out.

The idiotic wall proposed by trump, which Mexico was supposed to pay for (but isn’t) was meant to prevent tragedies like we’re seeing in places like Jacksonville.
But for every MS-13 killer, there are 20 David Katz of Baltimores. What wall will keep THEM away? #GunControlNow pic.twitter.com/nM5HIneVjz
