Sandy Hook Massacre Case Study

In the case of the Sandy Hook Massacre, gunman Adam Lanza was consumed with the massive variety of weapons. He also had a huge obsession with violent video games such as Call of Duty, it has been said. The walls of his bedroom, where he had spent a majority of his time, were covered with posters of weapons and even tanks. This was claimed to have been seen by a plumber who worked in the home at one point.“The kids who play these games know all about guns. I'm not blaming the games for what happened. But they see a picture of a historical gun and say, I've used that on Call of Duty"(Henderson, The Telegraph 2012). These Call of Duty games have also been connected to other mass murders such as the Jewish school in Toulouse by Mohammed Merah
