GRANGER, Ind. - An 11-year-old boy shot his father last month after his parents took away his video games, investigators said recently.

The father, an off-duty state trooper, was shot once in the buttocks on Feb. 22 with his service weapon , the South Bend Tribune reported.

Investigators said the boy got the weapon out of his father’s locked patrol vehicle, which was parked in front of the house, the Tribune reported. The boy told investigators he meant to shoot his father in the head but was unable to because of the way his father was lying in bed, the Tribune reported.

The boy told police he wanted a PlayStation, an Xbox and a computer, the Tribune reported.

“(I’m) going to get these simple things, or there would be a part two,” the boy said, the Tribune reported.

That's a father who can honestly say his kid is a pain in the ass.

Proving the father was right to take away his video games.

I’d like to see what this kid looks like..
Anyways he’s an obvious psychopath and should never be allowed back in that house.

There seems to be some dysfunction in this family.

[Doogle]

...probably cruel to animals and a bed wetter too.

"Little bastard shot me in the ass!"

[Bayard]

This is just a sad story. Fell bad for the Father and Mother, this will haunt them forever.

The kid...I don’t think I even know what to think other then horror.

[mowowie]

Me too....
it sucks

This boy should never move back into the same house with his family. No one would be safe. He’s already proven how vicious he can be over a minor disciplinary move.
I have had a relative almost that bad. Lucky for his Mom, he was jailed for petty crimes, and has not been allowed to move back in the family home since then.

[ConservativeMind]

It’s stories like this that make infanticide seem reasonable...

[Farmer Dean]

This incident will really foul-up the family reunions.
