Man goes on a deadly carjacking spree...

And who do they have to blame for his actions? Grand theft auto. [quote]To video game aficionados, Tuesday morning's deadly carjacking rampage was eerily familiar. A man shoots a woman several times in his home in the early morning hours and flees the scene in an SUV. After his tire goes flat in a parking lot, he exits with a shotgun. Seeing the threat, another driver guns it, gets shot in the head, but still manages to drive away. The shooter runs to a nearby gas station and steals a pickup. He takes the truck onto the freeway, blasting three vehicles with his gun before crashing on an off-ramp. Finding an elderly man inside a luxury car, the shooter forces him from the vehicle at gunpoint, then shoots him three times. The killer steals the luxury car, drives to another parking lot, fatally shoots another man in the head, then steals his car and heads back to the freeway. The police alert is high. Once authorities close in, the killer shoots himself in the head. Game over. All of these events, which took place Tuesday morning in Orange County, can also happen in the open-world video game Grand Theft Auto.[/quote]

  • "There are prostitutes, murders, violence and carjackings, Watters said. Although the plotline bears a close resemblance to Syed's crime spree, Watters said, he thinks it’s a stretch to imply a violent video game could lead to real-life violence. "I grew up playing all that kind of stuff, and I don’t go around shooting people," Watters said. "I think someone who would do that has underlying mental issues.""
