video games + death

BOY ALLEGEDLY SHOT PARENTS WHO TOOK HALO 3 (video game) AWAY.



Daniel Petric was caught with Halo 3 on his way into the house after
sneaking out to buy the game. His father then took it, placing the game
in a lockbox—the same lockbox in which he stored his 9mm handgun.

Somehow, Petric retrieved his game and the gun from the lockbox. And
according to his father, Petric entered the living room with a chilling
request.

"Would you guys close your eyes? I have a surprise for you."

At that point, he was said to shoot both of his parents in the head,
killing his mother.

Petric's lawyers gave an opening statement mentioning that he'd suffered
from a severe staph infection and found himself homebound to games and
television for a year.

RUNAWAY TEEN GAMER'S BODY FOUND



Sadly, Canadian police believe that they have found the body of Brandon
Crisp, a 15 year old that ran away from home in early October after his
parents took away his Xbox 360 privileges. Apparently, he had become obsessed
with Call of Duty 4 and action was taken after it began to affect his grades.
The boy was found on the Oro Medonte Rail Trail outside of Barrie, Ontario with
a tent and a meager supply of food. Police are awaiting the pathology report
before confirming the boy's identity.
