Electronic Arts has canceled the three remaining Madden Classic qualifier events in wake of the shooting that took place at a Jacksonville competition on Sunday, company CEO Andrew Wilson announced in a statement Monday.
Two players, identified as Taylor Robertson and Elijah Clayton, were killed when a gunman opened fire, specifically targeting other gamers at the event, according to authorities. The gunman wounded 10 others before turning the gun on himself.
In his statement, Wilson expressed sympathies toward Robertson and Clayton's families, adding that EA was committed to supporting them and improving security at independently-operated qualifying events.
