Boy accidently kills himself trying to imitate Halo

This is quite sad to be honest, in more way than one.

Another alleged videogame related death. This time involving the popular Xbox shooter Halo. 11 year old Johnson Creek boy Nimm was apparently a big fan of Halo, even taking a liking to firearms after playing the futuristic FPS. While at home skipping school Nimm was apparently trying to imitate moves from the game with his .22 caliber rifle (a common pastime for the child). However he did not obviously grasp that a round could still be loaded in the chamber even when the magazine ejected and was found shot through the head yesterday.

Let's just go through his a bit yeah?

from the game with his .22 caliber rifle (a common pastime for the child)

Can someone please tell me as to why his parents are letting this 11 year old play with a .22 caliber rifle? Because that in itself is just a tad dangerous.

did not obviously grasp that a round could still be loaded in the chamber

What? Again, why has this kid got a .22? Loaded even!? Are his parents on drugs?


On a different note though, this is quite sad, and I send my sympathy to the parents, even if they did their 11 year old kid play with a loaded gun.
