Son shoots parents for confiscating Halo 3

A minister's 16-year-old son allegedly shot both his parents in the head after they took away his copy of Halo 3.

Daniel Petric, now aged 17, is on trial in the US for killing his mother and attempting to kill his father. He has pleaded not guilty, the Associated Press reported.

Prosecutors at the Ohio trial said his parents confiscated the game after he sneaked out to buy it. They put it in a lockbox where they also kept a 9mm handgun.

Petric later took the game and handgun out of the lockbox. He came into the room where his parents were and asked them to close their eyes because he had a surprise for them, his father testified at the trial.

Prosecutor said he then tried to make it look like a murder suicide, AP reported.
