Forums - Gaming Discussion - 16 year old shoots and kills mom for taking away his Halo 3

perpride on 18 December 2008

ELYRIA — Daniel Petric shot his parents -- killing his mother -- because they wouldn't allow him to play the violent video game Halo 3, prosecutors told a judge at the boy's murder trial Monday.

In September 2007, Daniel, then 16, had sneaked out of his bedroom window to purchase the game at a store against his father's orders. When he returned home, his parents caught him with the game and took it from him. His father, Mark, a minister at New Life Assembly of God in Wellington, put the game in a lockbox in a closet where he also kept a 9mm handgun, according to prosecutors.

About a month later, on Oct. 20, 2007, Daniel used his father's key to open the lockbox and remove the gun and the game. The boy shot his parents, killing his mother and gravely wounding his father. As his father lay wounded, Daniel tried to place the gun in his father's hand.

Daniel fled after his sister and her husband arrived at the house, taking the Halo 3 game with him.

 - He killed them pure execution styles. Walked up from behind them and told them to close their eyes because he had a surprise. By the time the father came to himself his wife lay dead beside him. Thoughts?

It's sad the parents were actually trying to be good parents here (and still think they did the right thing), they just have a messed up kid.

I don't really put the blame on video games in this one, the kid is just bat shit insane. I read somewhere yesterday or the day before the lawyer was trying to blame video games but his case seemed pretty thin and like he was grasping for straws.

It's pretty clear he had been planning this for a few weeks in that he told people he was thinking about it and the fact he really wanted to make it look like a double suicide.  If that's the case Heathers is just as likely a candidate as Halo 3.

Wow.  There's faith in action.

Just like the cold blooded execution scene from Halo 3.

 

Seriously, these are senseless killings that have nothing to do with video games.

kids should get the death sentence. i don't care about age. idiotic nonsense should be freaking punished.



bigjon on 18 December 2008

wow... It seems like his parent had good reason to keep the game away from him... that is the most extreme Haloboy I have ever seen.

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Sorry. It's a Bill Hicks reference. Very obscure.

I dont blame video games for the violence we see today but here is a something creeepy for :P


<< 2 Timothy 3 >> 
GOD'S WORD ® Translation
1 You must understand this: In the last days there will be violent periods of time. 2 People will be selfish and love money. They will brag, be arrogant, and use abusive language. They will curse their parents, show no gratitude, have no respect for what is holy,3 and lack normal affection for their families. They will refuse to make peace with anyone. They will be slanderous, lack self-control, be brutal, and have no love for what is good. 4 They will be traitors. They will be reckless and conceited. They will love pleasure rather than God. 5 They will appear to have a godly life, but they will not let its power change them. Stay away from such people.

number 5 again 

Bible in Basic English
Having a form of religion, but turning their backs on the power of it: go not with these.
