ELYRIA — Daniel Petric was so angry that his father would not allow him to play the violent video game Halo 3 that he killed his mother and shot his father, then tried to make it appear to be a murder-suicide, prosecutors told a Lorain County judge this morning in the boy's murder trial. Petric, now 17, had sneaked out of his house to buy the game. But his parents caught him as he came in with the game and took it from him. His father, Mark, put the game in a lockbox in the parents' closet. He also kept a 9 mm handgun in the box, according to prosecutors. Daniel Petric took the gun and the game out of the box, they said. The case is being tried to a Lorain County Common Pleas judge instead of a jury at the request of Daniel Petric. Marvin Fong/Plain DealerDaniel Petric Mark Petric, who is a minister at New Life Assembly of God in Wellington, testified that before the shooting on Oct. 20, 2007, his then-16-year-old son came into the room with a question: "Would you guys close your eyes," Daniel Petric asked. "I have a surprise for you." Mark and Susan Petric Mark Petric said he expected a pleasant surprise. The next thing he knew, his head went numb. He had been shot in the head. Susan Petric, 43, died of gunshot wound to the head. source: http://www.cleveland.com/news/index.ssf ... ad_ov.html Discussion: Crazy much? I think he has some serious problems
If i know this guy, I will be glad to kill him asap. I bear no more bitter hatred for this kind of "animal".
It's so bizarre when cases like this occur if it really was just for a game and no one had pushed this kid into a psych ward before this happened what the hell would drive him to do that... It's kind of freaky to think there were probably no warning signs.
