A single shooter opened fire on a Madden NFL 19 tournament in Jacksonville, Florida, on Sunday afternoon. Initial reports suggest four are dead, and at least 11 are injured.

At a police briefing held at 4:30pm ET, Sheriff Mike Williams of Duval County would not confirm the number of dead and injured, but he confirmed that there were deceased people at the scene, which took place at the GLHF Game Bar, located at The Landing, an open-air marketplace in downtown Jacksonville.

"We just finished cleaning The Landing of potential witnesses and victims," Williams said, later adding that the suspect was a white male who was deceased. The police were "still working to confirm his identity."
