Investigators believe 8-year-old intentionally killed 90-year-old woman
[quote]SLAUGHTER, LA (WAFB) -
East Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office officials say they believe an 8-year-old intentionally pulled the trigger and killed an elderly woman Thursday evening right after playing 'Grand Theft Auto IV'. Although they believe it was an intentional crime, according to Louisiana law, the child will not be charged.
In what is now being called a homicide, the Sheriff's Office says it happened at the Country Breeze mobile home park on LA 67 near Slaughter, LA just after 5 p.m.[/quote]
Oh my god, and thus the video games cause violence war begins again.

I can believe that the child was playing GTAIV. I can't believe the parents were stupid enough to leave a loaded gun near a child. I blame the parents for this.
-
Funny well this is not funny but I know a kid just like this accept he doesn't play with loaded guns... alone

4 RepliesCan we arrest the parents? Who the hell lets an 8 year old play GTA, let alone with a loaded gun? I give up on America.

2 RepliesI'm having a hard time wrapping my -blam!-ing brain around all of this. An 8 year old playing GTA? An 8 year old playing with a loaded gun? *vomit*

Anymore news on the investigation?

1 ReplyBan 8 year olds. Seriously though, who lets an 8 year old play grand theft auto?

If you give an 8 year old access to a gun then it's pretty much your own fault.

*braces for media to start another shitstorm over game violence*

If the 90-year-old woman had a gun to defend herself this wouldn't have happened. As always the solution is more guns. THIS IS MAH MURRIKA AND MAH FREEDUMS

1 ReplyCharge him as an adult. That's what we do in 'murica.

Words cant describe how terrible this ordeal is :/

What the -blam!-?

Edited by Rocket Turtle: 8/24/2013 4:00:55 AMIf she had a gun with which to defend herself, none of this would have happened. Also, ban GTA.

1 ReplyWait.. Still wrapping my head around it. [quote]although the child initially told investigators that he accidentally shot Smothers while playing with a firearm, the investigation has led them to believe the child intentionally shot her[/quote] Why? I want to know why.

It all makes sense once you find out it happened in a trailer park. Nothing good ever happens in trailer parks.
