Gamer 1: “It’s going to be hard to get him on stream. It’s a lot.”

Gamer 2: “It’s not a tough out today—excuse me, not an easy out.”

Authorities say the shooter was a 24-year-old man named David Katz. Sunday’s shooting occurred only two days after another shooting in Jacksonville, Florida, at a high school football game. One person was killed and two more were wounded in that shooting.
