Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams identified the shooter as ^ 24-year-old David Katz of Baltimore.
Sheriff Williams said Katz died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound and that he used one handgun in the shooting.
The sheriff said Katz is believed to have stayed in Jacksonville Saturday night, possibly at a hotel, and that authorities have found his vehicle and were conducting a search.
Authorities in Florida said the FBI and the ATF are assisting in the investigation at Katz's home in Baltimore.
Witness Javaris Long told the Tampa Bay Times that the suspect was “nerdy” and got mad because he lost, so he went to his car, got his gun, came back and “started blasting everybody.”
