Blame starts for Dawson

Yesterday, a student went on yet another shooting rampage at a school; this time it was Kimveer Gill at Dawson College, located in Montreal, Canada. One girl died while 19 people were injured, six of them critically. Gill subsequently killed himself. Already, however, media outlets are beginning to associate the crime with videogames. The Associated Press writes that Gill liked to play Super Columbine Massacre RPG, a game built with RPG Maker by Danny Ledonne. Meant as an artistic statement, it nevertheless takes place during the 1999 school shootings in Littleton, Colorado. Gill also liked to visit a Website called VampireFreaks.com, where the CBC quotes him as saying, "Life is like a video game, you gotta die sometime."
