Shooting suspect was treated for mental illness

-

The suspect in a deadly shooting at a Florida video game tournament had previously been treated in hospital for mental illness, according to court records.

Divorce filings from the parents of David Katz, 24, from Baltimore say that as an adolescent he was twice sent to psychiatri­c facilities and was given antipsycho­tics and antidepres­sants.

Katz killed two people and wounded 10 others before fatally shooting himself in Jacksonvil­le on Sunday.
