At least three people are dead and 14 are injured after a lone gunman opened fire Sunday during a video game tournament that drew professional players from around the world. The mass shooting occurred at the Madden 19 competition at Jacksonville Landing, a waterfront shopping and dining area at the heart of downtown Jacksonville in Florida. The Jacksonville shooting is the latest shooting rampage to erupt in an otherwise peaceful place — a wave of violence that has extended nationwide — this time at a popular waterfront destination in northern Florida. Three other shooting victims, now in stable condition, were treated at Memorial Hospital in southeast Jacksonville, hospital spokesman Peter Moberg said. — Mayor Buddy Dyer (@orlandomayor) August 26, 2018As we await further details, our hearts are with Jacksonville and all those affected by today’s tragic mass shooting.
