Only one death has been officially reported. However, earlier it was reported that there were 3 in critical condition. The one in stable condition was the female.
Thank you! People on Twitter were reporting that Demetrius Hewlin had passed away but I'm hoping it's not true.
My view,and it may not be a popular one, is all these video games that kids play today (my son has played them, as well)...where you are a solider or something similar, and kill others....but in these games, all you have to do is press "reset" or "new game" and you get another try. I think it a) makes killing easy, and do-able, and b) gives kids an unrealistic view that death isn't "real".
It's just a temporary state of being, until you hit the reset button.
Honestly, I strongly disagree. If a kid has predisposed violent tendencies, then they're going to be violent regardless of whether they play games or not. Those video games sell millions of copies. I know so many people, teens and adults, who play these kinds of games and would never kill or harm anyone. If someone actually is motivated to act based on video games, then their mental state is questionable to begin with.
