Outrage over 'horrendous' Active Shooter video game that lets children play the role of a gunman on a murder spree at school
Players can choose to play as either a SWAT team member or gunman in a school
The video game creator has promised to add a 'civilian survival mode' soon
Active Shooter goes on sale less than a month after the Santa Fe school shooting
Anti-gun violence charity Infer Trust said described the game as 'horrendous' and in 'bad taste' given the recent mass shootings in the US

The upcoming game, Active Shooter, lets players choose between taking on the role of a SWAT team member trying to stop an ongoing school shooting — or the role of the shooter themselves.
