A 24-year-old man named David Katz has been identified as the suspected killer who took the lives of several people at the Madden NFL 19 video game tournament in Jacksonville, Florida.
While President Donald Trump has yet to comment and offer the usual thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims, his daughter, Ivanka Trump, is getting slammed for the short tweet she posted.
The mass shooting took place on Sunday afternoon, and it has been confirmed that the gamer who was known as “Bread” or “Sliced Bread,” allegedly murdered two other players.
The two victims are Eli “TrueBoy” Clayton and Taylor “SpotMePlzzz” Robertson.

Before taking his own life, the Baltimore man reportedly injured 11 other innocent people at the GLHF Game Bar.
Among them is Timothy Anselimo, a gamer from Brooklyn, who is known as OLarry. He is currently in the hospital after getting shot three times.
Other pro gamers described America’s newest mass murderer as angry and nerdy.
Talking to local media, several eyewitnesses revealed that the suspected shooter had just lost in the tournament; he exited the bar, went to his car, and returned with a gun and started aiming at people around him.
Police officers say they do not know as yet if he legally owned the weapon.
The horrific shooting was caught on a Twitch live stream, and a Katz’s shadow could be seen pointing the laser of his laser-sighted gun on one of the players — Robertson — who was wearing a red sweater.
It has been revealed that Robertson, from California, was married. He leaves behind his wife and a young son.

While Robertson was somewhat a veteran at the game, he won 13 out of his 18 matches, Clayton was a rising star in the gaming community. The FBI has been searching Katz’s home in Baltimore.
It appears that Katz won the 2017 tournament and a chilling video has surfaced where the announcers said “Bread” was almost cold and emotionless during his matches.
The announcer said: “David Katz keeps to himself. He’s a man of business. He’s not here to make any friends. You can’t even get him to open up about anything; it’s like pulling his teeth.”
President Trump played golf and tweeted about his poll numbers and blasted Barack Obama on Sunday, never mentioning the mass killing in Florida.
Ivanka tweeted:
As we await further details, our hearts are with Jacksonville and all those affected by today’s tragic mass shooting. ♥️

The message was not well received by many Americans who say that her father has the authority to do something.
