In another event of video game-related violence<\/a>, a 14-year old Minnesota boy has shot his mother and been charged with first-degree murder following an argument over Call of Duty.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not joking at all. She\u2019s dead. I\u2019m scared. I killed my mom with my .22. I don\u2019t know why I did it,” confessed 14-year old Noah Crooks in a 911 call after the act. “I feel crazy and I know I’m not. I think I have some form of ADD.\u201d<\/p>\n

The dispute started when Noah’s mother, Gretchen, grounded Noah from playing Call of Duty after his grades had slipped.<\/p>\n

According to the call, Noah confessed to attempted rape in his fit of rage, and showing signs of confusion about his actions.<\/p>\n

“I tried to rape her. I tried to rape her but I couldn’t do it.\u00a0Who tries to rape their own mom? My life is down the drain now.”<\/p>\n

Following the attempted rape, Noah then used a rifle that has mother had given him as a gift, and shot her over 20 times.<\/p>\n

The family\u2019s lawyer is attempting to argue that the murder was a result of a \u201ctumour of rage\u201d, which caused Noah to lose control of his actions.<\/p>\n
