Horrifying Violence in Reality
On December 6, 1989 a 25 years old man, product of a violent home, failed military candidate and lover of war films, entered the University of Montréal's School of Engineering building (Canada). He murdered 14 women and injured 13 others: 9 women and 4 men.
On June 1, 1999, a horrifying school shooting took place in Littleton, Colorado (United States). Two teenage gunmen from Littleton killed 25 students and teachers.
On March 5, 2001 a handgun attack by a 15-year-old boy on fellow students and teachers at a San Diego area (United States) high school killed 2 dead and wounded 13. The 15-year-old boy was ''addicted to Nintendo games'' and violent rock music, and abused drugs.
On April 26, 2002, a school massacre happened in Erfurt (Germany). A former 19-year-old student fired into the heads of teachers, killing 13 of them. He also killed 2 students, a secretary, and a policeman. As preliminary police investigations determined already the day after the massacre, it was not a wild, run-amok incident, but had been prepared systematically over nearly a year. The student had engaged in intense target practice at an Erfurt combat gun club, and with killer video/computer games, such as "Ninja," "Doom," and "Counterstrike” on his PC at home.
