Default Mass shooting at Video game tournament in Florida
Quote:
At least four people were killed in a mass shooting at a video game tournament in Jacksonville, Fla., Sunday afternoon, according to reports.

Emergency responders shut down the streets around Jacksonville Landing, where the Madden 19 Tournament was being held at the GLHF Game Bar, and are urging people to steer clear of the area.

“Mass shooting at the Jacksonville Landing,” the city’s Sheriff’s Office wrote on Twitter at 2:13 p.m. “The area is not safe at this time. STAY AWAY.”

Four people were killed and at least seven more injured, News4Jax.com reported, citing sources.

It's not allowed, it's against the law. Sadly there's just some mentally sick people about.

...another sad loss of innocent life and injuries through the gun laws in America..people don’t shoot people down because of anger in losing etc..it’s because there is mental instability as well, I would say...as the primary reason and other things become ‘triggers’...definately no pun intended, trigger being t(e only appropriate descriptive etc..so long as armed weapons are easily available in the way they are to the civilian citizen, who wouldn’t be known to have mental instability until the after event of it all...then it’s just all to easy for these things to happen again and again and again..without an armed weapon, the loss of life and injuries would have had a better odds..a gambling pun intended with that but it’s also the truth of it, no attempt at humour... because it’s too often and it’s too sad ...but also hopeless because it’ll never be addressed..and even if it ever was, it’s all too ingrained now so nothing will change and life loss won’t be prevented, sadly...with incidents like this when something just triggers something...

Nice to see that you're taking advantage of the death of a bunch of innocent teenagers dying to push a narrative.

These things will continue to happen, it's very sad, but entirely predictable. When you have the means to kill, anytime anyone is the slightest bit angry or feels hard done by it's there as a means of instant resolution of the issue at hand.
