Violent Video Games Invoked in New Mexico Teen's Killing of Family
If that's the reason, every male under the age of 30 is a ticking time bomb
The New Mexico teenager accused of killing his parents and three younger siblings was 'involved heavily' with violent video games prior the shooting, the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office said.
Nehemiah Griego, 15, who was 'frustrated' with his mother, was arrested Saturday following the deadly shootings at his home in a rural area southwest of Albuquerque where he lived with his family, Bernalillo County Sheriff Dan Houston said.
The sheriff said Nehemiah Griego got excited when he had the chance to discuss his penchant for violent video games with investigators. One of the games he mentioned was "Modern Warfare," Houston said.
