It sucks that these victims continue to die in vain. If it's a white guy with a gun, we won't politicize. If it's a brown guy, civil war incoming.

Sad to see.
As a Canadian, I can't wrap my head around why some people think guns are not the problem.
I mean, it's right there in front of them.
I don't get it.

That video's fucked up. I hope the person who had that laser sight on him is ok, it didn't look good at the end there :(

How have no major news sources picked up on this? This is so sad :(

Too busy slurping john mccain today. Didn't you hear? The whole world has paused to honor such a brave man /s

For the most part you'll never get clear answers. A few years back there were some assholes that were planning to shoot up a Pokemon tournament. They had their weapons with them when the police found them and managed to stop it. This is what they had on them

I can't believe it, Jesus. You've got to really want to murder people to gather all that and carry it around

I wonder how this will effect other gaming events. It's gotta have a huge effect. Kinda said the US will slowly become the land of metal detectors. All because of cowardly politicians.

E3 this year had hugely increased security with rows of detectors and personnel to check bags (which the public couldn't even enter with), I wouldn't be surprised if that will extend to everything going forward, especially in the US. It's unfortunate but yeah until actual action is taken it'll be a case of putting a band-aid on the problem.

I didn't expect to actually see the red dot.

That video was absolutely horrifying and it made my heart stop. Please don't watch it if you're not prepared.

Four dead.....freaking garbage shooter. Why? Why on a tourney of all places? Why are people so obsessed with guns in this poor excuse of a country?!

Fuck guns and those who shill for them.

RIP to the victims, just ordinary young people getting together on a weekend to play videogames. ;_;

Nope, not listening to this, but my thoughts go to every victim involved and families affected.

So public shootings has reached video games now? Good fucking lord. Terrible, terrible to hear about this.

I think Sonicfan's post was ill-timed Trump satire, hence the 'sad' ending.

Why are people saying the guy with the laser pointed at him is okay because it hit his thumb? The guy on twitter is the other player.

I can't find anything about the guy actually pointed at. Hope he is okay.

So fucked up. Chilling to listen to the screams and cries of anguish. You really aren't safe anywhere in America and that isn't being hyperbolic.

Fuck, I thought this was a glitch video because of the gameplay shown, those shots shook me.


I've heard millions of gun shots in video games, but hearing actual shots being fired is different, cold and disturbing.

Hope the death count doesn't increase, was hoping for no casualties but looks like we have 4 confirmed so far. Didn't watch the video but people saying a laser sight was pointed at a player. Are they common in mass shootings?

As bad as this sounds maybe the stream recording will get more people to realize how fucked up it is we continue to let this happen. Then again, I might be asking for too much.
