The makers and distributors of the popular Grand Theft Auto video game series are being sued by the victims and family impacted by a June shooting spree that left one man dead and another woman injured. An attorney for the plaintiffs told TechNewsWorld that the Tennessee boys responsible for the shooting — being detained until age 19 after pleading guilty and admitting they shot at moving cars — are being sued along with their parents. But Tennessee attorney Richard Talley said the “wrongful death” case is also an indictment of the video-game industry.
