The beginning of a mass shooting at a video game tournament in Jacksonville has been captured on a livestream of a game. Multiple gunshots and screams can be heard in the background during the disturbing footage.
At least four people were killed and some 10 injured during the incident, according to initial reports. The video is a grab from a livestream of the tournament.
The video briefly shows the players, one of whom has a laser pointer –or scope– dot moving over his chest moments before the shooting starts. Multiple gunshots, presumably from a pistol, and screams can be heard in the footage, which then abruptly ends.

Before the video cuts off, you can clearly see a laser go across the gentleman’s chest on the right.
This is Jacksonville’s second public shooting in as many days, first at a Raines High school football game and now a madden tournament. pic.twitter.com/VpKcI6z4Gl

The incident occurred during Madden NFL, an American football video game tournament held at a game bar in the Jacksonville Landing Mall. The competition was being aired live on Twitch TV when the shooting took place. One suspect was “dead at the scene,” according to police. It remains unclear whether there was another shooter involved in the incident.
