Halo Murders

This weekend I was watching the E! channel and they had another countdown of the 15 Most Shockingly Crimes commited by children or something like that and one of the stories was the story of the video game addicted, Daniel Petric.  He was the son of a preacher and lived in a religous household which forbade him to play violent video games. He sneeked in halo and played it religously for a while. His parents found it and his mom took it away from him. In October 2007, he shot his mom and dad while they were watching tv. He tried to make it look like a murder suicide but his dad survived the attack.  He claimed that he was dangerously addicted to the video game. This is not recognized by the American Medical Association as a psychological disorder. He tried as an adult and convicted for the crime.  His father, who I said was a preacher, forgave his son after plenty of soul searching and actually testified for him in his case.
