To the Public:

I am, like most, saddened by the news of the shooting at De Leijgraaf High School extend my condolences to those affected by this painful event. Please refer to the artist's statement for the game's intent. For further questions, please contact me here.

In the press I've been getting lately, I have tried to articulate very clearly that Columbine was a "wake up call" not just for our society but for ME in particular as I was once headed down a similar road. I found other outlets such as filmmaking and theater... unfortunately those like Harris, Klebold, and apparently another boy, did not.

Dutch police say a seventeen-year-old boy opened fire outside a computer room. The shooting at the De Leijgraaf high school in the town of Veghel near Eindhoven, is the first such reported incident in the Netherlands, where gun controls are strict. School officials evacuated classrooms, and television pictures showed bloodstains and papers strewn over the floor after pupils fled in panic. The boy, who classmates said was upset about a failed relationship, gave himself up to police. The four injured people are being treated in hospital.
