German student kills 15 people.

German teen Tim Kretschmer, 17 years old, massacred 15 people at a school in Winnenden. Tim had warned everyone over an internet chat room, "It said something like, 'Everybody is laughing at me. Nobody recognises my potential. I have arms, I have guns, and tomorrow morning I will go to my previous school and show them what I can do'," Mr Rech said. Tim had warned the students what he was going to do and I guess no one saw it or took it seriious. Tim Kretschmer was a computer game and gun enthusiast.
The news has given gun videogames bad publicity, some people say that violence videogames were the reason why Tim killed the people. I don't belive that gun/violent games should be accused for causing Tim to do what he did. Tim's father was a member of the Rifle Association and had guns arround the house. I doubt that videogames were the cause of Tims massacre. What do you guys think?
