Shooting game removed from movie theater

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - A national movie theater chain has removed a video shooting game from one of its theaters in New York.

National Amusements took the game out after a moviegoer complained.

The moviegoer was concerned that teens were playing violent video games even after the mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
