A nerd at the Madden video game tournament in Jacksonville, Florida has shot 15 people. So far four are dead. The suspect (not yet named) is described as a white male and was shot dead by police. The mass shooting is also going by the hashtag #TheLandingMassShooting. Turns out the shooter got pissed off he lost at the tournament so he whipped out a gun and started shooting people. Yet another “wonderful” mentally stable individual. Get ready for another week of anti-gun media propaganda, David Hogg and blaming the NRA for this nerdy video gamer who couldn’t handle losing.
