The State of Colorado, Office of the Governor, Columbine Review Commission Report
has been published offering the results of the official investigation into the
school shootings that some have suggested were somehow inspired by the two
shooter's interest in video games (Doom, in particular) as well as other media
influences. Interestingly, however, the
188 page report (Adobe Acrobat required) makes only a single reference to video games and other media
influences, and that is in a footnote that reads: "Such social problems
arise, for example, from the culture of violence glorified by popular media,
including rap and other popular music, the ready availability of firearms, and
video games that desensitize young people to violence and killing." The
actual main conclusion of the report is to place the blame on the authorities
who missed the warning signs that all this was going to happen and then failed
to respond properly, as an article titled Columbine report faults police
on CNN summarizes, saying: "Two years after the nation's bloodiest
school shooting, a commission appointed by the governor to review the tragedy at
Columbine High School Thursday faulted the initial police response to the
incident."
