Sources told News4Jax the gunman turned the gun on himself after targeting and firing upon attendees. Authorities are not sure if he acted alone.

Los Angeles Times reporter Matt Pearce tweeted the gunman was a gamer who lost at the competition. At this point, there is little known about the shooter's motives.

Electronic Arts, the company that produces Madden NFL 19, tweeted the following statement: "We are aware of an incident at a sanctioned Madden Championship Series competition in Jacksonville. We are working with authorities to gather facts at this stage."
