3. American Teen Shoots Both Parents In The Head - Halo 3
Teenagers getting annoyed at their parents for taking away their favourite game is hardly an uncommon occurrence. - in fact, it would hardly be surprising if in one place or another it happened every day. But while some kids might throw a bit of a tantrum, 17-year-old Daniel Petric from Ohio took his revenge to the extreme. After unlocking his father's lockbox and retrieving his copy of Halo 3, Peltric also took a 9mm handgun and headed for his parents' bedroom where he shot both of them in the head. His father, Mark, survived the attack and testified saying his son said to them before shooting, "Would you guys close your eyes? I have a surprise for you." The defense team presented a case for temporary insanity brought on by excessive playing of Halo 3 but the court rejected their position - Daniel Petric was tried as an adult and faced life in prison without the possibility of parole.
