Republican candidates are reportedly cancelling campaign events in Jacksonville, Florida after a mass shooting that left two dead and nine injured at a video game tournament.
According to WJCT, two Republican candidates for governor, Adam Putnam and Ron DeSantis,
announced that their events in Jacksonville had been cancelled.
WJCT noted that Democratic candidates had added gun safety events in Jacksonville to their schedules.
Jeff Greene’s campaign said that the candidate “will speak out against gun violence and discuss commonsense gun control measures” at the Oceanway Community Center.
Democrat Gwen Graham is expected to hold a “community conversation on gun violence” on Monday. And candidate Chris King planned a noon press conference with “gun violence activists” on Monday outside of Jacksonville City Hall.
