COMPUTER GAME DEPICTING SCHOOL SHOOTINGS CHALLENGED
Does the world need a computer video game to let players recreate school shootings? Whether the answer is yes or no, looks like we’re getting one. The upcoming title is called “Active Shooter” and it is scheduled for release next week. In the game, players may either take on the role of a SWAT team dispatched to a school shooting or be the virtual shooter. It was developed by Revived Games and published by the company Acid. The game won’t be available on console systems like Sony’s PlayStation 4 or Nintendo’s Wii U. Meanwhile, the father of a 14-year-old student killed in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting on February 14 wants the game’s release to be canceled, saying those who created it are “sick people.”
