Fire inspectors shut down bar where fatal shooting occurred
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Fire inspectors have shut down the restaurant and bar that was the scene of a fatal shooting during a video gaming tournament.
A bright orange "cease and desist" notice was posted on the door of Chicago Pizza in Jacksonville on Wednesday.
A city code violation report says the restaurant didn't have a permit to hold the Madden NFL 19 tournament last weekend. On Sunday afternoon 24-year-old former champion gamer David Katz of Baltimore opened fire inside Chicago Pizza, killing two people and injuring nearly a dozen others before killing himself.
The Florida Times-Union reports the restaurant's last approved building layout was submitted in 2009.
