This article states that with all of the research and studies that have taken place around the subject of violent video games, none of these have given valid proof of violent video games causing youth violence. The article also points out that depressive symptoms can lead to violent outbreaks due to antisocial traits with the individual, and gaming is an antisocial subject, so it may just be that video games attract to those who already have the potential to act out violently.
