JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Three people were killed and several others wounded Sunday after a shooting rampage at a "Madden NFL 19" video game tournament.
The competition drew people from all over the country, including Tim Anselimo, who is from Tampa.
Anselimo's mom tweeted pictures of her son with Gov. Rick Scott and his friends. She says her son was shot in the hip, chest and hand.
Anselimo, who goes by "Olarry" and "Larry Legend" on the gamer circuit, had surgery on his hand this morning. There is some concern because he makes a living by playing video games. The surgery could decide his future as a gamer.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says the shooter—David Katz—killed two people, then himself.
Police are still trying to figure out why Katz—who was participating in the competition—started shooting at his fellow gamers.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office hasn't released the names of the victims or survivors. We're expecting more information on them today.
