HOUSTON – A son is dead after police said his own father killed him following a dispute over a video game on Sunday.

It happened at the El Paraiso apartments on Corporate and Sharpcrest in southwest Houston.

Police responded to the shooting around 3:30 a.m. to find the son lying dead in the apartment.

Distraught family members told police that the two started arguing over a video game, and for some reason the dad pulled out a gun and fired.

Police said the son was in his late teens or early twenties.

Police are still searching for the father who fled the scene.

There is no additional information at this time.

Be carefull TTP. People are crazy.

i don't see how it could be wow. unless one of them was horde and the other alliance....or perhaps if the son ninja'ed an item.

**GReYVee** · 10-25-09, 08:55 PM

Maybe the son banned him from the servers.

That is some fucked up shit.

I know now this will be spinned to show how evil video games are and how they corrupt our youth. Even though 99% of video gamers are not murdered by their dads. Obviously a massively dysfunctional family.
