Counter-Strike (commonly abbreviated to CS) is a tactical first person shooter video game which originated from a Half-life modification by Minh "Gooseman" Le and Jess "Cliffe" Cliffe.

Thompson went on to say that "In real life, Kazmierczak - who had become "erratic" recently after shunning medication for an undisclosed illness - purchased weapons like those used in Counter-Strike, including a Glock handgun and a pump-action Remington shotgun, which he bought legally on Feb. 9.
