PAX West, an annual gathering of video game fans and creators that’s known for its friendly atmosphere, takes place in Seattle later this week. But in the wake of Sunday’s shooting at a video game tournament in Jacksonville, Florida, in which two people were killed and 10 wounded, security at gaming events is the focus of media scrutiny.

Polygon contacted PAX West’s organizers to ask if they are implementing any new security measures for the event in light of the Jacksonville shooting. The statement from the PAX team is as follows:

The safety of our attendees, exhibitors, and staff is paramount to ReedPOP and Penny Arcade. As PAX has grown in popularity, we have responded with the addition of increased private security, law enforcement, and other personnel, each of whom are on-site at all times during our events. As a rule, we do not publicly announce or discuss the details of our security program in order to maintain its effectiveness, however, we work closely with the Washington State Convention Center, private security, the Seattle Police Department and federal law enforcement authorities to identify risks, assess them and develop our comprehensive security protocols for PAX West. We have in place extensive proactive measures; some that are visible during PAX events and many that are not. We are always working to improve our security plans and, if need be, adjust them, to ensure that we are doing all that we can to make PAX West, and all PAX events, a safe and secure environment for the community. Across the fifteen years of PAX events we have provided a safe and welcoming environment for more than a million attendees to come together for their love of gaming and we are ensuring that we adhere to that tradition at PAX West 2018.

A source close to the event, who preferred not to be identified, told Polygon that the plan is to maintain security, but not to make a big show of force. The strategy is to show the public that, while violence is always a possibility in a public space, it is not a probability at an event like PAX West.

Madden competitors Elijah “TruBoy” Clayton and Taylor “SpotMePlzz” Robertson were killed in a shooting in Jacksonville, Florida, on Sunday. The shooter, David Katz, also competed in the tournament. Katz, who took his own life after he opened fire, reportedly had a history mental health issues.

Madden publisher Electronic Arts released multiple statements following the shooting. Other companies involved in organizing live gaming events are likely to follow suit in the days ahead.

“[Clayton’s and Robertson’s] deaths are an inconceivable tragedy, and we offer our deepest sympathies to their families, to those injured and everyone affected by this,” EA said in a statement on Monday afternoon. “Many of us at EA knew Elijah and Taylor well, and their positive, competitive spirit and respect for other players were evident to everyone. They earned the admiration of all who watched them compete, and we will miss them greatly. We are committed to supporting their families through this difficult time.”

Pressure on esports and gaming event organizers to improve security is likely to increase. Jason Lake, founder and CEO of top esports team Complexity Gaming, tweeted: “It’s time esports events (large and small) double down on security for everyone in general and players specifically.” Complexity player Drini Gjoka was injured in the Jacksonville shooting.

Update: Polygon also contacted the Seattle Police Department for comment. A spokesperson said that “we do have safety and security plans for PAX West including uniformed and plain clothes personnel to keep everyone safe, so the everyone can enjoy themselves and have a good time.”
