Games & Violence Story

[Dec 01, 2001, 11:16 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

12-year-old kills younger brother in video game re-enactment is a story of a tragic home accident that offers the theory that this is traceable to video games right in the headline. Reading the story, '12 year-old kills brother with irresponsibly stored handgun,' seems like a much more accurate title, but I guess accuracy is not a prerequisite for headlines. The game being cited as an influence is Winback: Covert Operations, an N64 title. Thanks Schwab, who points out an appropriate addition to this story is a link to the NRA's Gun Safety Rules.
