Finnish website pulls 'Kindergarten Killer'
Posted on 2 Oct 2008 at 15:09
A free internet game, in which players roam around a school to kill kindergarten pupils with a shotgun has been pulled from a Finnish gaming website.
Kindergarten Killer can be found widely on the web, but lastenpelit.fi decided that the game had no place on the children's website, following the country's worst school shooting.
"We have removed pages from our site that are not necessarily appropriate for younger family members," said the website in a statement.
22 year old Matti Saari killed 10 people at a vocational school in Kauhajoki, Finland last week. It was the country's second school shooting in less than a year. Saari prefaced his rampage with boastful video clips on websites such as YouTube.
Finnish student Pekka-Eric Auvinen did the same before shooting six fellow students, the school nurse and the principal to death at
Jokela high school last November.
Both Saari and Auvinen killed themselves following their rampages.
