The Norway serial killer, who killed 77 people, claims he trained by video games. He says he played Call of Duty to practice shooting. He said he played World of Warcraft for 16 hours a day to train shooting. I personally don't think that's even possible. Video games don't even compare to real life guns and shooting.
