The shock from Sunday's shooting at a gaming competition in Jacksonville, Florida is being felt in Omaha.
Three people died, including the gunman, and 11 were injured in the shooting. 24-year-old David Katz of Baltimore is the man who opened fire at the Madden 19 Southeastern Qualifier Tournament.
"I do this every day at work, et cetera. But it was more of the, 'Why?' It's just a Madden tournament. Something that is supposed to be an enjoyable situation," Omaha gamer Myles Tyler told 6 News. He owns Legendary Wolf Games.
A live stream of the game captured the gun fire and screams as the shots rang out. Jacksonville Sheriff, Mike Williams, confirmed the suspect was in town for the gaming competition. It is not clear whether or not Katz was participating in the tournament before the shooting.
Tyler hosts video gaming competitions at his store. He's seen players show frustration after a loss. "I've seen a guy throw a controller and get mad before. And even as the store owner, I walked over and said, 'Look bro. Act like an adult. I get it, you lost,'" Tyler told 6 News.
He said anger never escalates to violence, though. "Never bring it to that level. No. Nothing every like that," Tyler said.
He said Sunday's events aren't going to prevent him from continuing to host his gaming competitions. Tyler also said this action isn't indicative of the video gaming community, which is competitive, but primarily an outlet for people to have stress-free fun.
