I didn't see this posted in the forums yet so figured I should. It appears the child was playing an M rated game unsupervised and loaded firearms were kept out in the open.

Do you think video games (in this case GTA) are to blame?

Video games aren't the cause, mainstream media just likes to use them as a target because they don't really understand the experienceof playing one. I think all of us can agree here that killing in a vidoegame does not make you want to do it in real life.
