Round and round we go.

So awful.

 

[Sithborg]

It was apparently being streamed on twitch when things went down. I don't suggest looking for the video, though from what I've heard, it mainly goes to audio only.

 

[terry78]

Yeah, it was. I saw some of it, and it's not so much graphic but the audio is. And the last part before the controller disconnects, you can see the laser sight of the shooter reflected in the screen behind the players. Scary as ****.

Interesting choice of words considering it was another shooting

 

[terry78]

Never cared for puns, especially in these instances.

 

[Iceman]

Terrible.

Hope the other people injured make it out and recover.

cant wait for it to be blamed on the nasty dirty video games again

Saw the video clip of the moment the gunfire happened, there's nothing gruesome in the clip but the audio is pretty harrowing.

Or the firearm of choice being defended by the NRA & other gun nuts as being perfectly fine to own because it's not that powerful..

yep that will happen as well, i spoke to my dad about it and his first response was ohh ah are they gonna blame the usual call of dutys etc when it was at a sports game tournament, are they really gonna try and say the nfl is to blame.....wait a minute $5 this gets blamed on the take a knee protest

 

[Legendver2]

Who the hell would shoot up an E-Sport? Like wtf?

 

[terry78]

The update says the shooter was one of the players who got eliminated.

Figured it would be, kinda sad this has become so common you can guess the story bit by bit before it is known

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

As ever, thoughts to victims and loved ones.

I've heard of sore losers but that's ridiculous.

 

[Sithborg]

I foresee another meeting with the president about the dangers of video games.

 

[KillerMcQueen]

They'll use video games as a scapegoat until they think it's been long enough for them to pretend it never happened, they'll also send their usual "thoughts and prayers", a term which at this point is more vulgar to me than any curse word. It's infuriating how actually doing anything to try and prevent these shootings isn't something that even occurs to them.

 

[Doug_Moore]

This is the shooter.

He looks like a psycho.

 

[Donner]

He looks like a regular white guy.

 

[Frankeh]

The audio of the shooting is disturbing.

RIP to the victims.

FYI, one of the players on screen when that happened didn't make it.

**** it all

Considering the attempted murder attempts with swatting, I am kind of surprised something like this didn't happen earlier.

 

[squeekness]

Sad how folks just can't even enjoy anything anymore.

 

[terry78]

We've become a nation of *****es. I just have to lay it out there. We literally cannot handle life anymore.
