Jacksonville shooter was hospitalized twice for mental illnes

J
acksonville, Florida -- The 24-year-old gunman who opened fire on a "Madden NFL 19" tournament on Sunday had been hospitalized for mental illness, according to court records obtained by the Associated Press.

And while the leftist media didn't want to make the Mollie Tibbetts' shooting in Iowa a political issue and debate on illegal immigration, you know they would be  as quick to jump on the issue of gun control as Bill Clinton on a White House aide.

Divorce papers from David Katz's parents in Baltimore showed that as a teenager he was hospitalized twice in psychiatric facilities and prescribed both anti-psychotic and anti-depressant medications.

David was a competitor at the gaming event and had two handguns [no assault weapons] and extra ammunition inside the restaurant where the competition was being held, according to police officials.

The guns were legally purchased in Baltimore by Katz--a .45 caliber and 9mm handgun--Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams told the media. He bought them in the last month from a licensed dealer.
His name was not in any system to warn dealers of the danger he poses, and this is the big problem.

Police claim that there was no indication he planned his shooting prior to the Sunday event. But it is believed that when he lost his game, he snapped.

He killed two people and also shot ten others, all of whom are expected to recover from their injuries. Then he turned the gun on himself, possibly being the worst Madden NFL game sore-loser in the world, if that was his motive [which has yet to be determined].

Katz's parents divorced in 2007. They hotly disagreed on how to care for David. Katz's father claimed his estranged wife was exaggerating symptoms of mental illness on their long-running custody battle. It appears he was wrong.

While police "have yet to determine a concrete motive" in the shootings, the case remains under investigation and the parents "have so far been fully cooperative" with the FBI.

Eli Clayton, 22, of California, and Taylor Robertson, 27, of West Virginia, were identified as the victims who were killed.

The country now awaits a Trump tweet to determine his thoughts on the matter.
