Montreal gunman liked playing school massacre internet game

Never mind the fact that the game was semi-educational and was made to provide an insight into that awful event at Columbine, to condemn the killings, not reenact them and that it had the graphics of a 1990's handheld game.

5/1 that this makes the front page tomorrow. Please, British public, don't swallow the Mail's bullshit.
I've checked on gamepolitics.com and most main news outlets (CNN and such) concentrated on the 'crazy dude, lots of guns' angle but the Mail has to be different and terrify the middle-classes. At least there's no game to actually ban this time.
