It's crazy. I don't even know what to say any more. How can any government or authority tolerate a situation where people take their lives in their hands attending any gathering, public space or simply go to school or college? I just have no words...

Although it seems this has not been officially confirmed, the LA Times is apparently reporting that one of the gamers present said it was a white male who lost his game and opened fire on people.

BBC News appears to confirm this -

Some reports in US media say Katz was a known gamer, using the name "Bread" or "Sliced Bread", and had been the winner of at least one Madden championship in 2017.

He was believed to have been staying in a nearby hotel.

I just boggles my mind. Obviously there is no reasonable cause for doing something like this, but to have reacted in such a way to losing a game is particularly spurious.
