Story developing — we’ll continue to update (below) as we know more:

The shooting that happened in Jacksonville is horrifying. You can see a red dot on one of the players during the stream before the player cam cut out. It's so sickening to think that the people involved not only wanted to ruin a fun event, but take numbers of lives in the process

Thoughts and prayers for the victims as this story continues to develops.
Ugh. Just awful.
