Welcome to World of the INSANE. 16-year-old Daniel Petric got more than a little bit angry when his dad took away his Halo 3 disc and tried to stop him playing the game he'd just sneaked out of the house to buy.

Daniel's response? He took his dad's 9mm handgun, told his parents to close their eyes because he had a "surprise" for them - then shot them both in the head. His mother died, his dad lived, and is now telling the American legal system about the shocking events in court.

Daniel's meagre excuse is that he'd been housebound for a year following a snowboarding accident and got a bit tetchy. Now, that might be a good excuse if the crime was gaining a few stone or watching too much TV or shouting a bit loudly a couple of times, but it's hardly a valid reason to go shooting your parents because they won't let you play Halo 3.

If any aliens are reading this and have access to powerful particle weapons or something similar to the planet-killing mass driver machines used to successfully obliterate the Narn Homeworld in Babylon 5, please put this planet out of its misery.
