15-Year-Old Tué Pour Le Dépassement Du Jeu [ Tragédie

<p><img alt="brocktonboy.jpg" src="http://kotaku.com/assets/resources/2008/03/brocktonboy.jpg" width="200" height="296" class="postimg left"/>When 15-year-old Olivier Baptiste refused to hand over the video game he was playing to his 18-year-old friend William Suarez, Suarez pulled out a .32-caliber Smith and Wesson from his waistband and show Baptiste in the head. This according to police, who have charged the alleged killer with manslaughter, illegal possession of a firearm, assault with a dangerous weapon, and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling. <blockquote>Witnesses told authorities that Suarez then put the gun down on the kitchen counter and began saying, "This just didn't happen," according to court documents.</blockquote>Sounds like one seriously screwed-up individual right there. </p><p>This is similar to the incident back in July, where a<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://kotaku.com/gaming/tragedy/teen-killed-by-brother-over-video-game-279272.php"> young boy stabbed his older brother to death</a> for not letting him have his turn at a video game, in both situation and press reaction. Some of the headlines I have seen include: <br />
