On August 26, 2018, a mass shooting occurred during a Madden NFL 19 qualifying tournament at the GLHF (Good Luck Have Fun) Game Bar in the Jacksonville Landing marketplace in Jacksonville, Florida, United States. The attack was carried out by 24-year-old professional gamer David Katz of Baltimore, Maryland, after he was eliminated from the competition. Katz returned to the venue with a handgun and opened fire on tournament participants and spectators, killing two people and wounding eleven others before fatally shooting himself.
Investigators determined that Katz acted alone and that the attack was not an act of terrorism. Katz, a former competitive Madden player who had previously won a major tournament, had a documented history of mental illness and had legally purchased the firearms used in the attack.
