JEFF Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Parents('s) should hang... And no.... it has nothing to do with video games, nothing at all. The desensitization of america is almost complete. A 9-year-old boy shot his older sister to death over a video game controller, sheriff says By Mercedes Leguizamon and Saeed Ahmed, CNN Updated 11:57 AM ET, Mon March 19, 2018 https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/19/us/boy-shot-sister-over-video-game-trnd/index.html (CNN)A 9-year-old boy retrieved a gun from his parents' bedroom and shot his 13-year-old sister to death, authorities said, after the two got into an argument over a video game controller. The incident occurred over the weekend in rural Monroe County, Mississippi, as the children's mother was preparing lunch in the kitchen, the country sheriff said. "He wanted the controller, and I guess he knew where to find the gun," Sheriff Cecil Cantrell told CNN. The boy grabbed a handgun, which was kept in a nightstand next to the bed, and shot the sister in the back of the head, the sheriff said. "This is the first time I've ever dealt with any child that was shot like that," Cantrell said. "And I hope I never deal with it again." The girl was taken to Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis, where she was pronounced dead Sunday. The case is still under investigation and authorities have not filed charges. "We are talking to the district attorney," Cantrell said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
