Why are people concerned that he played GTA IV, first and foremost? Isn't the real issue here that he got his hands on a firearm that easily?
As for the game being at fault for the murder, we've been over this before, predisposition and all that, some are simply more prone to break-down and vile acts of savagery, regardless of video games.
There were kids and other people who did these things long before video games were a factor in society, they're just handy to blame since they're still not entirely accepted by mainstream media and society as a whole.

I think the article would do well in focusing more on childrens mental health and certain gun issues (how easily available guns are and how little people care about this, they should at the very least be locked away where children can't get them and ammunition be stored separately).
