Game Recreating Sandy Hook Shooting Draws Furor
'It's absolutely disgusting that somebody thinks this is funny,' Donna Soto, mother of slain Sandy Hook teacher from Stratford Victoria Soto, tells the Connecticut Post.
A video game said to re-enact the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting has drawn harsh controversy since surfacing in the media, and the mother of Sandy Hook teacher Victoria Soto, a Stratford native killed in the shooting, is calling for its removal, according to the Connecticut Post.
"It’s absolutely disgusting that somebody thinks this is funny," Donna Soto told the Post.
"We’re all suffering. All the families are suffering. We’re coming up on December. My daughter’s birthday just passed. It just adds insult to the suffering that we’re dealing with. It’s just incomprehensible that someone would think this kind of thing is wanted."
The game, called "The Slaying of Sandy Hook Elementary" and credited to developer Ryan Jake Lambourn, opens with the character killing their mother and closes with a kill ratio, comparing the figure to that of the death toll at the Dec. 14, 2012 shooting.
