INTERNET--(esecurities.W)--April 23, 1999 - "Violent games, shootings connected?"

Littleton's link to earlier Kentucky tragedy provides fodder for critics of video game industry.

This week's school shootings in Littleton, Colo., have focused scrutiny once again on violent computer games and their connection to real-life brutality.

Dylan Klebold spent 'a lot of time on the Internet playing war games like Duke Nuke 'Em and Doom.'
-- Jerad Tomicich, Columbine High School senior

Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the two high school seniors who killed 12 students and a teacher before committing suicide, were avid players of the computer games Doom and Duke Nuke 'Em. The two friends used to play against each other, in what is known as a death match, for hours at a time, said Jerad Tomicich, an 18-year-old senior at Columbine High School where the tragedy occurred.

"Dylan [Klebold] was heavily into war games," said Tomicich.

And that is linking the Colorado rampage with another school shooting. High-school student Michael Carneal, convicted of killing three students and wounding five others in a high-school 15 months ago in West Paducah, Ky., was an avid player of violent games such as Doom, Quake and Mortal Kombat.

The parallels have critics pointing fingers at video games as a potential cause..."
