Counter Strike players in inter-clan shooting shocker!
Gaming overspills into reality in LA
According to reports surfacing overnight, two Counter Strike clans in Los Angeles California have taken things too far, exchanging mouse and keyboard for club and Beretta.
Following a clan-based CS tournament at San Fernando Internet Cafe, a fight erupted between members of rival outfits. However, these clan members were not the burger-chomping cola-fuelled geeks you might imagine.
After a ruck in which chairs were smashed over players' heads, a member of a rival clan shot one participant in the leg, apparently. Between eight and five shots were heard.
"They threw a chair at someone's head, then two people started running, and that's where they started chasing them, and they pulled out a gun and started shooting," an eyewitness told ABC News.
All this comes in the light of a fresh attack from the National Institute on Media and the Family. "Video game violence is now an epidemic and violence against women has become a black mark on the industry," said the report's author, David Walsh.
