In the fall of 2007 16-year-old Danny Petric took the family's handgun, shot his mother dead and injured his father while they were watching a baseball game at their home in Wellington Ohio. He was arrested and is currently serving a 23-year prison sentence.
His father blames the crime on his son's passion for games, and is taking his message to the media. The son shot his parents after they refused to allow him to play Halo 3, a game they found to be too violent.
Mark Petric, a pastor, points out that when his son fled following the crime, he took his copy of Halo 3 with him. "You know, the only thing he took with him was that video game," Pastor Petric said. "Was he obsessed? Oh yeah, big time."
He added, "These games are addictive. Kids get addicted like they do to drugs." On the games industry, he said, "I'm gonna fight them. They put weapons in the hands of our children that teaches them to murder, and that killing is okay."

ahhhh screw the dad, what caused this could have been anything. Instead of halo it could have been a book, a doll, a tool. whatever. Don't blame games because you can't raise a kid.
