Thats just messed up. The frequency of things like this seems to be going up.
Looks like there might just be something behind those age restrictions for games after all.

A teenager has stabbed his buddy after a spat broke out, presumably over the online game they were playing together.

The California residents were each playing a multiplayer game in their respective homes, when things got heated in the online space, causing the 17-year old to head over to his mates house and continue his combo, unfortunately it was no longer in the game.

Presuming is the same as assuming and assuming is the mother of all fuck ups.

Without knowing exactly what the argument was about speculation is possible, the one dude could have slept with the other dudes sister. Also I would be more concerned with the 17 year old with a gun.

For all we know it was two gang banging drug pushes playing games while high on their stash. I'd be surprised if there wasn't at least one stabbing incident that night.

There must be at least 80-million people who play video games in the world, if you take bundled Wii-Sports sales into account. How many of those people become violent or die "while playing games?" Less than 20?

Methinks a reality check is in order before the alarms go off.

Yeah, we really should confiscate everyones car as well.

How does a 17-year old get hold of a gun, to go and shoot at his neighbour before stabbing him???

The gun owner should be seriously penalized for this...

It's the states, why are surprised someone had a gun?
