Florida candidates spar over guns after mass shooting
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida's candidates for governor openly sparred over guns on Monday after a mass shooting at a video game tournament.
Democrats contended Republicans were ignoring a wave of gun violence in the state, including the February shooting at a high school in Parkland that left 17 people dead, and the massacre at a gay nightclub in 2016 that left 49 people dead. The two GOP candidates lashed back that Democrats were attempting to politicize a tragedy.
Authorities say 24-year-old David Katz of Baltimore killed two people and wounded 10 others before fatally shooting himself Sunday at a Madden tournament being held at a riverfront mall in Jacksonville.
