Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

A member of the Milwaukee Bucks' NBA 2K video game team was wounded Sunday in a shooting rampage during a Madden 19 video game tourney in downtown Jacksonville, Florida.

Timothy Anselimo, who goes by "Olarry" and "Larry Legend" on the gamer circuit, was among the wounded, a Bucks spokesman said.

“Our thoughts are with Tim and his family after this horrific situation,” said Cayle Drabinsky, Bucks director of business operations and co-managing director of Bucks Gaming. “We are in close contact with his mother and continue to monitor his health.”

The event where the shooting took place was not related to the NBA 2K League.

In April, the Bucks chose their NBA 2K team — professional video game players who are paid employees of the franchise — and Anselimo was among the six team members.
