EVO tournament manager contacts FBI after threat of mass shooting
Reknown fighting game tournament EVO has attracted some negative attention, in the form of a Twitch user threatening a mass shooting on the game convention this coming August, with the ominous statement of "mass shooting@ EVO18 see you there". The message, while potentially just a terrible joke, has gotten some people nervous, and the EVO tournament organizer, Joey Cuellar has taken the threat seriously, opting to contact Twitch staff as well as call the FBI to report it. This has also started major discussions in the fighting game community, regarding what they perceive as a lack of security for EVO attendees. What makes matters more uncomfortable, is that the event takes place at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, of which during October 2017 was the scene of a brutal mass shooting.
