Quote:Several people on social media participating in the Madden NFL Championship Series reported hearing gunshots during the tournament. A video surfaced on social media showed players disconnecting from the game as gunshots heard in the background.
A reporter from Fox-affiliate CBS47/FOX30, Brittney Donovan, said that at least one person was seen being loaded onto a stretcher and into an ambulance.
Madden NFL 19 is a video game based on the NFL that’s developed and published by EA Sports. Sunday's event was held at GLHF Game Bar, which is located in Jacksonville Landing.

Got to wonder what the chances are that this bled over from Raines shooting.
One person interviewed by local news crew says that suspect had just been eliminated from tournament. No idea how credible that is.
Just heard again it was a contestant who lost their match.
I've never lived in Jax, but I feel an attachment to this city from our Jags. I hope no one from the board was hurt from this nonsense.

The contestant just interviewed slipped that he believed it was someone who got angry over a game.
Dang man. This came up on my YouTube Roku app as breaking news. WTH shoots people because they lost a tournament?! If that's what the motive was. I hate seeing this.
Sheriff speaking now:
No outstanding suspects
one deceased WM suspect - ID unkown
Wow, what a nutso. Whats going on with the world when an event like this is suddenly turned into a bloodbath
Sorry to the families of the victims.
Sending thoughts from the UK, keep safe!
Really growing a disdain for news 4 jax. They are acting like tmz trying to interview people who were at the tournament.
