Read the harrowing tweets Jacksonville shooting victim sent from the scene
One of the gamers wounded in Sunday’s mass shooting in Jacksonville, Florida sent a series of harrowing tweets from the scene as shots rang out around him.
At least two people were killed by the gunman, who then killed himself during the attack on a video game tournament.
Eleven others were injured, including gamer Drini Gjoka, who was grazed in the hand by a bullet. Early in the day, Gjoka thanked his YouTube followers and optimistically reported his progress in the Madden ’19 championship series tournament:

Just 15 minutes later, the 18-year-old gamer reported the shooting:
The tourney just got shot up. Im leavinng and never coming back

Then:
I am literally so lucky. The bullet hit my thumb

Last year, Gjoka became the youngest-ever winner of an EA Sports Madden NFL Championship Series belt. He told EA Sports at the time that he hoped to become a professional Madden NFL gamer.
