JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Three people are dead, including a gunman, after a mass shooting at a video game tournament in Jacksonville on Sunday, deputies said.
Local 4 news partner WJXT-TV is reporting that 12 other people were wounded at the Madden NFL video game tournament.
The Jackson County Sheriff's Office identified the suspect as 24-year-old David Katz, of Baltimore. Sheriff Mike Williams said there are no outstanding suspects.
Investigators were looking into online video that appeared to capture the scene right before the shooting began, Williams said.
A red dot that appears to be a laser pointer is visible on the chest of a player seconds before the first of a dozen gunshots rings out.
The Sheriff's Office will provide updates on their Twitter page.
Officials are also encouraging people to stay away from the area as it is a large crime scene.
One suspect is dead at the scene, unknown at this time if we have a second suspect. Searches are being conducted. https://t.co/qBJvkaO7xT
