Mass Shooting at Video Game Tournament in Jacksonville Leaves Multiple Dead:

Multiple people were killed in a mass shooting during a video game tournament at a shopping and dining complex in downtown Jacksonville, Florida, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said Sunday afternoon. Preliminary reports say four people were killed of the 11 people who were shot at the Jacksonville Landing, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the incident.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said on Twitter there were "multiple" fatalities and "many" transported to hospitals. One suspect was dead at the scene, the Sheriff's Office said, and it was not known if there was another suspect.

Memorial Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida is treating at least three patients that were involved in the gaming shooting incident, Hospital spokesman Pete Moberg tells CNN. All of the patients are in stable condition, Moberg says.

    Not just "a few" millennials, there were numerous fatalities... one of each gender.

      Yes but they were all incels. This incident proves that video games are the root cause of shootings. If those incels would have spent their money on women instead of video games, this would have never happened.

        No guarantees, brah. They could just be super awkward and/or ugly, premature ejaculators, etc. The money would be pissed into the wind.

    Nobody was "lost" here. This is a false ploy in a state run by the Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and her fellow Jews. Do you believe that it was a coincidence that the Leftist media conveniently banned Alex Jones right before this happened? The Jews may have been chased back into their strongholds, but with the media on their side, they may actually get away with pushing through another gun-grabbing bill or sow discord before the midterms.

    You just watch. The shooter will have been found to be a regular reader of Trump tweets, Drudge Report, Breitbart, and 4chan; and will have been discovered to enjoy Doom, Marilyn Manson and AC/DC; and the mass media will repeat those lies 24/7 in a desperate last-ditch effort to influence the midterm and get more websites banned.

    You heard it here first.

      I have to wonder how you function on a daily basis. Like, if you react to every piece of bad news by blaming the Jews, doesn't that mean your whole world view and value system is Jewish in essence? I mean, at least the Norwegian right wingers have their pagan fascist fantasies separating them from the Judo-Christian traditions. You... You see Jews at every corner... You believe everything is related to Jews... You're basically just a self-hating Jew at this point.

      Seriously Ethanol, what the fuck?

        Now that is not a very fair assessment. First of all, I blame not only the Jews but also the Blacks and Mexicans. Second, yes, I may badmouth the Jews here and there but I also consider them talented people and, if they don't like me, worthy opponents. Sadly, some stereotypes are true: Whites lie, Mexicans are loud, Blacks steal, and people with even a fraction of Jewish blood are some degree of Israel-firster.

        There is only one nation which should come first to all living in the USA, and that is the United States of America.

            I have yet to see any actual evidence any of those assholes are just in it for the lulz... No, a South Park story-arc doesn't count.

      2.5 / 5

      Not your best troll, but not too bad.

      Introducing a weird conspiracy theory about "They're coming to take our guns" is really good, but in the end let down by the increasingly repetitive terror of the "Jews".

      Also, pretending Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has any influence over anything kind of spoiled the whole effort.

      Never mind, have another try.

      I think you're off a bit. Doom, Marilyn Manson, and AC/DC are so 90s. I'm honestly not sure what the kids are into these days. The first part about Trump tweets, Drudge, etc, especially 4chan was good. The shooter will be an incel or a homosexual (probably reported both ways for extra confusion), probably a tech worker of some sorts. If we're lucky, he'll be an MGTOW or MRA.

      Shooter has been named: David Katz. Sounds pretty Jewish to me.
