David Katz (aged 24) was an American mass shooter and professional gamer who committed the Jacksonville Landing shooting in Jacksonville, Florida, which occurred during the Madden NFL 19 video gaming tournament on August 26th, 2018. He ended up killing 2 people and injuring 11 others before killing himself. Psychologists confirmed that Katz had been suffering from mental illnesses, and was prescribed anti-psychotic medicine to help subdue his homicidal thoughts.
Jacksonville Landing Shooting
After Katz had lost a game, he left the tournament, returning with a .9 mm pistol with a laser sight, targeting specific people (presumably one being the person who won against him). After at least one of his intentional targets was killed, he began shooting indiscriminately at other participants and spectators. He shot 12 people in total, but only two of them were fatal. The shooting had only lasted for about 4 minutes, before Katz committed suicide. The reported victims were 22-year old Elijah Clayton and 27-year old Taylor Robertson.
