WASHINGTON - An upcoming video game that lets players simulate a school shooting is coming in for criticism from parents of shooting victims and from politicians. The game, "Active Shooter," is to be released by Valve Corp. of Bellevue, Washington, on June 6 for between $5 and $10. Parkland students launched a grassroots campaign for tighter gun control following the shooting at their school which left 14 students and three adults dead. A disclaimer by the game developer, Revived Games, said the game "is meant solely for entertainment purposes and simulation." Ten people were killed in a school shooting in Texas on May 18 by a heavily armed 17-year-old classmate.
