26 Children Die Attempting to Summon Their Personas

I was reading The Persona 5 Discussion Thread on GBATemp and I came across this, Its old news yes but still shocking.Atlus Recalls All Persona Games After 26 Children Die Attempting to Summon Their Persona
-December 3, 2012Source

In Persona 3, characters summon their Persona by shooting themselves in the head with a gun-like device called an Evoker. In Austin, Texas, 26 children died after attempting to summon their Personas with guns.At Highland Park Elementary, the entire 5th grade class had all received a PlayStation Portable when the educational department of Austin sponsored a contest to see what school could receive the highest test scores. All the portable devices came with a copy of Persona 3.The police responded to a report of a mass suicide outside of the school. The entire 5th grade class, except for one student, had all appeared to have killed themselves with guns. It was discovered that they were all inspired by the events in Persona 3 and wanted to summon their Personas. Angry and saddened parents wonder where it all went wrong.“Those damn Japs with their video games and whatnot,” says Ted Lomas who lost two children in the accident, “I thought Sony was an American brand but I just learned that those chinks used an American-sounding name. God damn it, killing off our innocent children with their disgusting and subversive filth. I’m telling all my friends to buy those Nintendo games from now on.”Another parent, Frank Conner, shares Lomas’s anger after losing his only daughter, “Let me tell you something, some people have blamed me for keeping my gun with the safety off under my bed. It’s my god damn right in the Constitution under the fourth amendment! Victim-blaming America, those fucking liberals have stooped so low.”Atlus has responded to the event by recalling all copies of any Persona game despite Persona 3 being the only one with the gun-like Evoker. Atlus declined to comment on the story but directed people to stores participating in the recall.The one survivor who clarified the events surrounding the accident had a copy of Persona 4 and a PlayStation Vita. “I was confused,” she explained, “I had brought my tarot cards just like in the game but everyone else had brought a gun.”

How could 26 5th grade Children have access to GUNs?!
But if they only had a few guns, doesn't that mean they took turns to shoot themselves in the Head?! :-\

Wow.
'Merica.

And you guys are all stupid beyond repair if you think this is real. lolDo a quick google search and see that no such article exists.
It is convincing and I would not be surprised if it was real.It had me fooled, but then I remembered that it wasn't all over the news. I mean, it involved guns. The liberal asshole media would have been all over that in a heartbeat since it involved guns. Had it been a stabbing spree, there wouldn't have been any story. No guns, no problem. "Move along. Nothing to see here."

Crap I should have looked into this news more, as I saw in on both GBATemp and Gamefaqs forum's, I blindly believed it.

You could have just simply browsed your source.

This is my source for this information
http://www.p4rgaming.com/atlus-recalls-all-persona-games-after-26-children-die-attempting-to-summon-their-persona/I read only a few comments earlier and didn't see any comment that said its false news.
I just went through almost every comment and I saw just 1 comment that says its not true.
I didn't got through the comments earlier.
Besides I had other things on my mind today, had my Learners Test today morning , Passed it and got a Learners License.

I saw your source but if you snooped around a little, the front page should have tolled the warning bell.Quite an amusing site, actually.

Still, it was a not nice thing for the website to do, especially with how touchy the gun subject is. And we had Sandy Hook that month too. Or maybe we didn't have that either. I still haven't seen a shred of evidence of that actually occurring.But real or not real, we haven't had a mass shooting in a couple months. It's about time we have another one real soon. My guess is it will be in place where guns are magically not allowed. And they magically think that because there's a goddamn sign up that says no weapons that people will simply abide by that rule that a sign tells them.

Yes, I'm sure it'll absolutely blow their minds when it happens.Or some other limb. Suppose it depends on how good the next guy is with aiming.

Creepypasta are creepy... unless you know what they are beforehand.
