"An American student who made a Counter Strike map of Clements High School has been arrested and sent to an "Alternative 
Education Center".

Local authorities acted immediately after they received a phone call from a concerned parent whose child had been playing a game that 
"involved killing" and took place in a virtual representation of the school."

The story continues:
"The incident happened just days after the shooting in Virginia, where a Korean student shot and killed 32 of his 
peers."

Other news reported that the local Chinese community have rallied behind this Clements High School senior student.
