SHOOTING SUSPECT HAD HISTORY OF MENTAL ILLNESS

BALTIMORE The suspect in a deadly shooting at a Florida video game tournament had previously been hospitalized for mental illness, according to court records in his home state of Maryland reviewed by The Associated Press.

Divorce filings from the parents of 24-year-old David Katz of Baltimore say that as a teenager he was twice hospitalized in psychiatric facilities and that he was prescribed anti-psychotic and antidepressant medications.

The records show Katz’s parents disagreed on how to care for their troubled son.

Katz killed two people and wounded nine others before fatally shooting himself at the Madden NFL 19 tournament in Jacksonville, authorities said.
