Violence is a feature prevalent in many video games, but some parents say a new game set to be released goes too far.

The game is called School Shooter: North American Tour 2012. The player is a disgruntled student armed with weapons used in the Virginia Tech and Columbine High shootings. The goal is to shoot as many innocent unarmed people as possible in school.

Non-violent advocates at the Women's Help Center in Cambria County said they are concerned but the message the game sends to children.

"We are just concerned about that this type of a game the message that it sends and how we tolerate it as a society that this is OK when really it is not, " said Cathy Ritter, of the Women's Help Center.

They are not the only people concerned. The game was posted on another website but was taken down because of criticism.

The negative attitude towards the game is not stopping the developers at Checkboarded Studios. They are working on posting it on another site. The game will be a free download.

Parents who WJAC spoke with were surprised that a game like this could be released.

"I'm not knocking video games but some of the content really should be disregarded," said Derrick Knipple, a concerned parent.
