The teen's mother, Susan Petric, 43, died of a gunshot wound to the head. Her husband, Mark Petric, a minister at New Life Assembly of God in Wellington, also was shot in the head but survived.



Is Halo 3 one of those games you have to shoot them in the head to kill them with one shot?

Prosecutors said Petric planned to kill his parents because he was angry that his father would not allow him to play the video game, in which players shoot alien monsters that have taken over the Earth.



You can always count on the media to go and get the whole story.

Quote:

Mark Petric testified that his son came into the room and asked: "Would you guys close your eyes? I have a surprise for you." He testified that he expected a pleasant surprise. Then his head went numb from the gunshot.



You gotta love it. The kid is crazy, and has a sense of humor.

Quote:

Defense Attorney James Kersey said that when the teenager fled the grisly scene, he only took one item with him: the "Halo 3" game.



It's like those old horror movies that always end with the monster never being quite dead.
