Personally, I'm glad to see people finally making this connection, between video violence and teenage violence.

There is a new video game out (can't think of the name,) in which the scene is a typical, large shopping mall. The "players" are armed with automatic weapons, and points are awarded by how many "shoppers" the shooter kills. This was released a few months ago, and now that school is out and kids have time on their hands, I'm waiting to see just how long it will be before some moronic teenagers decide to act it out, for real.

The only game that I can think of that remotely fits that description is "State of Emergency". The first "level" is a shopping mall, but killing the "shoppers" (actually civillians running around in a panic during a riot) are never mission objectives and at times there is even a penalty for killing them.
