Two words: Sandy Hook. The killer had many issues, but I'll note a major source of his

entertainment was playing first-person violent games.

And there's another shooting in TX - more children killed/hurt.

From what we can tell, the major source of his entertainment when it comes to video games was playing rhythm games like Dance Dance Revolution. There are videos online of him blowing away very difficult levels, and one doesn't get that good at them without an incredible amount of practice. Do those games also cause violence?

Video games as a cause of shootings has been repeatedly debunked. There may have been a part of his personality that drew him to those games, but it would be difficult to assign causality to the games.
