It's another case of violence related to video games - although this story may be more telling of the state of domestic affairs. In Pennsylvania">Pennsylvania, a man shot his son, effectively ending a dispute that started with an Xbox 360.The argument started when a 17-year-old asked his father to take a look at his Xbox 360 console. His father, 60-year-old James Stanley Niedosik didn't want to and the argument started from there.Somehow it escalated to the point where the son handed his father a .22 rifle, telling him to shoot him. Apparently the argument was heated enough for the father to comply, or at least to press the trigger accidentally.No exact details have been revealed as to how it escalated or whether it was an accident or not. What's sure is, the boy has a .22 caliber bullet lodged in his skull and is currently heavily sedated in Lehigh Valley Hospital.The father is currently in Monroe County Prison with a US$ 250,000 bail, charged with aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, simple assault, and endangering the welfare of a child.The son's mother believes the shooting was an accident as she wasn't there when the shooting happened and hasn't talked to her son yet:One's in jail, one's in the hospital. I won't know exactly what happened until I talk to [my son]. He's incoherent yet; they have him heavily sedated.Although the story involved a video game console, crediting it as the driving force of the violence may be unlikely as it seems it played no further role in the dispute other than as an arbitrary source of conflict, but perhaps future details will prove otherwise.

the news is old but thankies

t must have been one screwed up fight for the son to tell his dad to shoot Him

That's some F'd up stuff ...

thatz pretty f'in insane.
I heard that there were some kids who shot shotguns at passing cars on the highway because they wanted to recreate something they did/saw in a grand theft auto game. the funny part is that they said they didn't want to hurt anyone.

LOL.

Anyways, that's gotta be one eff'd up family.
