Kid Shoots Parents for Taking Away His Copy of Halo 3

An Ohio teenager stands accused of killing his mother and injuring his father because he was not allowed to play Halo 3. The trial, on charges of murder and attempted murder, opened this week in the town of Elyria, Ohio.

In September 2007, Daniel Petric, who was 16 at that time, purchased a copy of Halo 3 against his father’s orders. His parents caught him playing the game and took it away from him. Almost a month later, on October 20, 2007, Daniel used his father’s key to open a safe box where he knew he’d find the game and a 9mm handgun.

Soon after, Daniel asked his parents to close their eyes for a “surprise” and then shot both parents in the head, prosecutors said. Daniel Petric’s mother, Susan, 43, was killed. His father, Mark Petric, survived because Daniel’s sister and her husband arrived at the scene after the shooting.

Mark Petric, a co-pastor with his wife of New Life Assembly of God in Wellington, Ohio, said his son tried to make the whole thing a a murder-suicide. Prosecutors say Daniel has confessed he planned the shooting.As Mr. Petric lay wounded, Daniel tried to place the gun in his father’s hand. Then Daniel told police when they arrested him that his father had shot his mother.

goodbye roku

So I’ve finally gave in a bought an Xbox 360 after years of contemplating the purchase. Bought it for $299.99 with 4 games and a 60gb hdd. Not too bad. Since it has a netflix streaming capability, I’m now selling my beloved roku box.

This is used to stream netflix movies to your tv.

It uses your wifi to connect so no need to run extra ethernet cable to it. Works extremely well. Mint condition since it just sat on top of my tv. Just don’t use it as much so I want to sell it.

Go to the website http://www.roku.com/netflixplayer/ for more information. This box is really small. so it doesn’t take up much space at all.

Bought it for $99 + tax so I’m willing to let it go for $70 flat.
