 16 year old Daniel Petric snuck out of his room one day in September 2007 to buy Halo 3 - without the knowledge of his dad. He had been playing the game with his friends for some time, and he wanted his own.When he got back home, his folks caught him with the game and took it from him because it was too violent. His dad, Mark, a minister at New Life Assembly of God in Wellington, kept the game in a locked box where he also kept his 9mm. Yes, he's a holy man with a handgun. Anyway, about a month later, on the 20th of October, 2007,Daniel hasn't quite gotten over the Halo-denying incident, so he got his dad's lockbox key to get the game...and found the gun next to it. Things went to hell after that. According to Mark Petric's testimony, he was sitting on the couch when Daniel came up behind him and said, "Would you guys close your eyes? I have a surprise for you." Thinking it was a pleasant surprise from his son, his head suddenly went numb as blood poured from a gunshot wound. He later realized that his wife already laid dead on a nearby seat, shot in the head, arms, and chest. Daniel even tried to frame his own dad by putting the gun into his hands. "Hey Dad, here's your gun. Take it," he said according to Mark. Luckily, Mark's daughter and her husband were coming over to watch the Indians. After a quick 911 call, Mark was saved. Daniel tried to make a run for it, but was eventually taken by the Wellington police. He now stands trial for murder and attempted murder. All for Halo 3. It makes me wonder how the guy's mind works, to be able to shoot your parents in cold blood all because of a game. This guy has serious issues. Violent video games, eh? Apparently, some people really can't handle it. Add Halo 3 to this list of violent games: |

What a dumbass. This really infuriates me to think that someone can kill their parents because of a game.

should have been beaten a long time ago. To have no respect for life is simply amazing. Let alone to kill over a video game. I hope he's put away for a long time, if not given the chair.

He got mad because his 360 got RRoD. LOL:D
He can't get death penalty but I think he could be put in juvi and then sentenced to life in prison. It's funny how the dad had a gun even though he was a minister. Someone doesn't love god enough. And as for the kid he is insane. His friends must be kickin his ass in Halo 3 to get that upset for the game. Halo 1 was still the best.

This guy is the worse killer in the world. And here are my questions for this stupidity.
1. Why shoot his parents when they were probably the one's that gave him the money to buy it in the first place?
2. Which Gamestop sold him the game because that game is Rated M?
3. Why for this game? WoW I'd understand people are addicted to that game.
4. Why did the parents hold the game for that long? They should have given it to the kid at least 2 weeks later and told him that his actions were wrong.
kaoken is right. Religious parents are pushy sometimes because they believe they are always right because they think they know more.

A gun in a lock box for self defense? guns kill people.... and "Christians" by their morals are not allowed to take a life... that's why it's odd that a minister has a gun

» WRONG
checkout the catholic catecism
it states that taken a life in certain circumstances is acceptable
cotracdictory to everythin else they teach but sure thats religion, aslong as theres a few wealthy men they dont give two *****s
also i may be wrong but quakers also believe that the euthanaisa can be acceptable, catholics dont, but theyre allright to take a life out of vengence (death penalty), rather than sympathy
anyway im sorry but some guy he also was talking about the fact that he is white, and i dont know but it tends that parent killers tend to be more white than blacks, although we all have our fair share of physcos, lol
anyway the parents i believe could havebeen to controlling, but obviously i dont know. still no excuse it seems they knew he had a mental problem
anyway i live in ireland, s we dont have the right to guns, however some where saying to revoke that right,
but you can be sure that if an intruder et ever comes into my house illl be battering him to death wit my hurl, ill have no problem doing it either, the guy obviously is useless to society so why do we as a society need him, simple. sure the guy might have got mixed up in the wrong thing and is absoulutely desperate, but for the majority kill the bastards,
also the kids i england running around with daggers and guns, simple solution give the public a day of vigl antis, the only reason theyre ding it is because they can get away wit it cause the justice system is so *****ed up, an life for an eye is my modo
also sorry for bad grammer and spelling on ps3, is a pain to type

» nothing to do with his religion(his parents)
I go to an Assembly of God church and parents whether pastors or not are pretty lax, they realize once the kid gets a mind to think on his own it is their decision to do what is right or go their own way, in hopes they have done a good job teaching the kid. This sick boy had a severe mental problem and frankly is a huge idiot. Whenever I had a game taken away I would find it, play it, then put it back, my parents may realize I took it but at least it was back. To kill your parents is a horrible and completely idiotic thing to do especially considering his age and the "offense." I hope this kid gets a long stay in prison so the "real" judicial system can show him how stupid his actions are.

I am shocked at people blaming the parents for the act of a person who can tell right from wrong and clearly didn't care. How many here automatically assumed the worst about A) Christians B) Ministers. Some assumed they were horrible people because of that and didn't know the first thing about them. Last time I checked, we were all human folks and all life is precious. Some of these comments read like you are OK with his actions because his parents were Christian. I see more hate coming from those folks than I ever saw from someone who is a Christian. And the Bible doesn't have a no-gun clause folks. Stop assuming the worst and learn about it for yourself remembering that getting your info from other people may not be the most accurate source of data.

» The boy had issues
Wrong of the parents to give him an Xbox360, but then deny the boy the most popular game there is for the console. It's retarded. Also, why do you need a gun?
But the boy is at fault. Obviously he had issues if he had to sneak around to buy games, and of course there is that holding-a-grudge-for a-month thing too.
And if he was perfectly able to sneak around to his friends' houses to play Halo, then why did he commit the atrocity? Answer: Because he is sick and even more retarded than his parents.

For one, Halo 3 isn't a violent game. In-fact it is the least violent of the Halo series, there isn't any gore barely, Unlike Halo: Combat Evolved you could paint a wall with the gore. But that's not the point, this kid, obviously has issues to say the least.. Took his mothers life over a game? Dude that's not at all cool yo. This is something that would make GTA Players go.

Seems too many paranoid people in America have guns just because they can, and justify it by saying it's for "protection". However, home invasions are definately not that common to warrant it.

Guns just kill people. They can't solve your problems, just create bigger ones.
Say for example your house actually get's invaded by someone. What do you think happens first?
You shoot him because you're paranoid enough to shoot whoever moves?
or
He shoots you because he's prepared for this kind of situation?

» so you're saying....
Both parents should carry guns to protect themselves from their f*cked up kids, and the kid needs a gun so he can play Halo.
Or, how about no guns? Since the USA has so many guns for "protection," shouldn't we have the lowest gun murder rate?
F*ck the NRA, they're the reason so many people have guns (no, not for hunting) and so many people get shot is this f*cked up country.

I dissagree he found the gun right at his hand begging him to use it but if he didnt saw the gun he'd probably just stay very angry at them at the most he would hit his parrents...

One could say guns talk...
They are an ultimate symbol of power, which gets to peoples heads, especially angry teens.
The gun itself may not have talked (course you'd have to be an idiot to think that is what he was reffering too) but it sure does get an angry mind racing with stupid ideas....all at the easy pull of a trigger...

» one death is a tragedy a million is a statisitc
Another needless death occurs due to a sick individual. I don't care if he was playing hello kitty island adventure. It's funny many cases like this happen every day yet this one sticks out because he was playing halo 3 I don't think so. If the boys hobby was making boats or model cars etc and they banned him from that the same thing probably would of happened. Comments like there shouldn't be a gun in the house is like saying I raped her because she was wearing sexy clothes. This is horrible let the fallen rest in peace and allow the grieve stricken to cope with their pain. Please to all your ignorant people please stop blaming video games for these Hannis crimes take the time too view your surroundings and you'll find the truth.
May The Lord bless all who suffer

I'm kinda speechless... good thing im typing.. but really though, this isn't just Halo and the kids fault... ever hear the saying that a kids decision is based off the parents teachings(something like that). Dads fault for having the gun you know(and right next to Halo...idiot.) ... and even if the kid could have gotten another gun for instance, I believe its the parents who could have raised the son better. (My mother raided my room and took something of mine, I retaliated and searched her room, gave up on thinking that she had gotten rid of what I was looking for, then I kicked a hole in the wall)
I'm thinking that da-da wasn't home all the time for his son with being a minister and all. He had to have been busy with other stuff. This really makes gaming look bad, shame on sonny boy for doing this.

» Isolated Event.
You cannot judge what caused an event until you have ruled every other one out.
For example, you would have to place 100 boys in a room, and all they would do is play video games. And see if they behave violently.
Unlike real life, kids face other difficulties, like being bullied or having a bad home life. You cannot blame video games as the problem. Also, in regard to the firearm, it's a right to be able to own one, we should not take away that right because one madman is misusing that freedom.
In conclusion, it's silly to blame an event on one hobby or pastime.

» Come on, people
To say the kid killed his mom over Halo 3 is retarded, unless he admitted to that reason publicly. All the article said was he was getting it from the lockbox when he found the gun. That doesnt mean he killed her over the fact she wouldnt let him play a game.
If they took away Halo 3, who knows what else he was forbade to do that most kids his age were able to? Things like school dances are not allowed in a lot of modern day religions, as stupid as it sounds, its true. I was raised in a strict religous household, and even Pokemon cards were "satanic" and not allowed for my little brother. Overly protective parents cause a lot of kids to lash out at their parents, myself included, but I didnt kill my mom, I just left home as soon as I was able.
I am in NO way sticking up for the kid, but lets look at the real issue here and not blame something like this over a video game.

I was about to ask the same thing. While pokemon cards are not satanic, school dances are completely forbidden by our religion. And before some wise @$$ says "oh, the Quran states 'no school dances'?", it does state that you shouldn't get intimate with people you're not married to. And yes, fondling them counts.

Jesus Christ! Halo 3 isn't even a great game! It's lacking the punch of the first game and serves merely to line Bungies pockets, which years ago you would never have thought possible (being a better studio and focussing on making great games each time).
Ah well. Poor family. Hope the kid goes to gaol for a lonnng while.

» Hmm...
This story sounds incredibly fishy. Why do they mention he "snuck" out to by the game? If he had the money, then he could have gone anytime he was already out. Why would be have to sneak out to buy it? I believe they would sell it to him, regardless of the rating though. Anyway, now we face the question of, why would this man hide the game where he keeps his gun? Does this really not seem odd to anyone else? And the kid just magically found the key, which happened to lead to said game and a gun? Now with game in hand, why would the kid bother to go and kill them? And to allow the father to live, no less? None of this adds up.

It doesn't really seem like the best place to hide it, why not just put it in a box or the freezer or whatever, just not next to a gun since that whould be linking a virtual item to a real one.
Never ever link virtual and actual reallity together.

thats the worse place to hide something. I think he saw his dad place the game in the box, and saw the place where he puts the key.
For a 16 yr old, the boy had to know his father keeps guns, and had to know where the guns are at.
The story doesnt have all the facts.

If the game meant that much to the kid he wouldn't have done anything when he found it. If you found somethign you lost or really wanted it your going to feel relived and excited when you find it, not "bust a cap" in your mom so to speak and try to do the same to your dad.

» Looks like another ADHD drug induced killing
I will bet you anything that this kid was on Prozac, Ritalin, Luvox, Zoloft, or Paxil.
What nobody is talking about is that every school shooting in the last 15 years has involved Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) drugs which are prescribed for ADHD and I have no doubt this murder wasn't part of the pattern.
For you people that are somehow tying this to his parents being strict or religious, I wonder how you explain that we didn't see an epidemic of this 60, 70 or even 100 years ago when ALL parents were much stricter, and much more religious.

Probably because "60,70 or even 100 years ago" AMERICA was much more religious. Because all those years ago, the world was different, not everyone had guns, and the world was a less violent place.

Hi. SSRI's are drugs popularly prescribed for mood disorders (e.g. unipolar depression, bipolar disorder), not ADHD. ADHD is usually treated with stimulant/amphetamine class drugs (Vyvanse, Adderall, Ritalin).
