Guard Dog Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) Still early yet but as of 16:00 local time it sounds like the only one dead is the suspect. Hopefully that turns out to be true. Edit: One news source says 1 dead three injured, another says 4 dead 11 injured, the latter is updated later than the former. No one knows what the hell is going on. Everyone is in such a rush be be first they go with any rumor they hear.

Katphood Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 3 dead(including the shooter who shot himself) and 11 injured. As I explained in the e-sports thread, the dude attended the event, started loosing, got angry and decided to shoot at people before killing himself in the end. There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcador Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 E-sports has one bad thing for it, acting like a prick in a competitive setting in most others results in risking physical retribution.

Maedhros Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) 5$ says he was raised without a father. Parents were divorced, but looks like he was living with his father (that's the home the police searched immediately after, anyway). In the divorce papers his parents apparently said that he had "significant medical problems and healthcare needs."

Hurlshort Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Sadly another mental health situation that will be dominated by bickering over guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smjjames Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 It's not stated that he has mental health issues, just 'significant medical problems'. Also, since Florida is a concealed carry state, one wonders whether any of the other participants had guns or if guns were even allowed in the building in the first place. If guns were allowed and others (besides the security officers you might expect) had guns, clearly the possibility of others having guns didn't have any deterrent, as the NRA likes to think the M.A.D. doctrine applies to guns.

Guard Dog Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Jacksonville Landing is a "gun free zone". I guess he didn't see the sign. So far the bickering over guns has been absent. The weapon he used wasn't his apparently and he did not have permission to have it. According to the Baltimore Sun at least. Personally I see this as yet further evidence of the corrosive impact of video games on the minds of young people. They promote violence and should be banned for everyone. After all, you don't need video games right?

Hurlshort Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 It's not stated that he has mental health issues, just 'significant medical problems'. I don't think it is a huge leap to assume mental health was part of that, given his actions. I could always be wrong, maybe he was well adjusted.

I don't think it is a huge leap to assume mental health was part of that, given his actions. I could always be wrong, maybe he was well adjusted. "Well-adjusted" kinda flies in the face of what he did, by definition. In any case, going ballistic after getting rekt at whatever isn't exactly a new phenomenon, and as always, Russians are just better at it: https://themoscowtimes.com/news/man-loses-game-of-cards-takes-out-his-axe-59441 AFAICT, this is the first mass shooting directly connected to gaming, right? - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
