Even though I'm not keen on violent video games that reward anti-social behavior, it's obviously much too early to make that connection.

Jack Thompson was on FOX blaming it on video games within hours, before the shooter had even been identified. FOX, of course, captioned him as "Expert on School Shootings", despite his being misled or deliberately lying about every single case in an attempt to blame it on video games.
