Brother shoots sister in head over a video game - Speedy - 03-19-2018
Is Mississippi a death penalty state?

Authorities in Mississippi say a 9-year-old boy has shot his 13-year-old sister in the head and wounded her after an argument over a video game controller.
Monroe County Sheriff Cecil Cantrell told local news outlets that the girl wouldn’t give up the video game controller when her brother wanted it on Saturday. He says the boy shot the girl in the back of the head and that the bullet entered her brain.
The girl was rushed to Le Bonheur’s Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. Details of her condition weren’t immediately known Sunday afternoon.
Authorities say they don’t yet know how the firearm used in the shooting had been accessed. The sheriff added that the circumstances of the shooting are still being investigated.
Monroe County is in northeast Mississippi.

The typical gun trigger lock can be picked by a 10 year old after watching a couple of videos. Cheap gun safes are not much more secure.

A new, longer-term study of video game play from the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and Germany's University Clinic Hamburg-Eppendorf recently published in Molecular Psychiatry found that adults showed "no significant changes" on a wide variety of behavioral measures after two straight months of daily violent game play...
It was a decent-size study, but there were a few gaps...
They didn't test kids.
They didn't hand kids loaded weapons while they were playing video games.

Didn’t know how the firearm was accessed? That’s like wondering how drinking water gets accessed.

The only thing that stops a child with a gun is another child with a gun.
