Active Shooter video game condemned by parents of Parkland victims

Grieving father calls for removal of 'disgusting' game that allows users to play the killer in a school massacre

A video game that simulates a school shooting incident has been labelled "disgusting" and "despicable" by parents of children who died during the mass shooting at a school in Parkland, Florida, in February.

Billed by its Russian publisher, Acid, as a swat team simulator, Active Shooter invites players to take on the role of an armed officer responding to a school shooting. However, the game also allows users to play as the shooter or as a civilian attempting to escape the scene.
