Electronic Arts donates $1 million to Jacksonville shooting victims

The gaming community has rallied together following the shooting at a Madden event in Jacksonville, and now Electronic Arts has made a sizeable monetary contribution.

EA will donate $1 million to support the victims of Sunday's tragedy, which it's called the Jacksonville Tribute.

"We’re also working to set up a fund where others can contribute alongside our donation, and we will come back very soon with further details," the statement reads.

"Contributions will go to the victims, including the families of Taylor Robertson, Elijah Clayton, and all those who were affected."

EA will also host a livestream in tribute on Sep. 6, allowing the wider community to join together and unite in play.

On Tuesday, EA cancelled three remaining qualifier events which were scheduled as part of the Madden Classic tournament. EA CEO Andrew Wilson said it would run "a comprehensive review of safety protocols for competitors and spectators."

"We will work with our partners and our internal teams to establish a consistent level of security at all of our competitive gaming events," the statement added.

Competitors Taylor "SpotMePlzzz" Robertson and Elijah "TrueBoy" Clayton died at the Jacksonville event, while 11 others were injured in the incident.
