Halo Kid Killed Himself.
Another alleged videogame related death. This time involving the popular Xbox shooter Halo. 11 year old Johnson Creek boy Nimm was apparently a big fan of Halo, even taking a liking to firearms after playing the futuristic FPS. While at home skipping school Nimm was apparently trying to imitate moves from the game with his .22 caliber rifle (a common pastime for the child). However he did not obviously grasp that a round could still be loaded in the chamber even when the magazine ejected and was found shot through the head yesterday.
[i]An 11-year-old Johnson Creek boy died from a gunshot wound Thursday at his home. Foul play is not suspected and the sheriff's department said this morning it appears the shooting was accidental.
According to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department, dispatchers received a report of the shooting in the town of Farmington at approximately 2:15 p.m. Thursday. The deceased person was Joshua J. Nimm, 11, of W5098 River Road, Johnson Creek.
Deputies, along with personnel from the Johnson Creek Police Department, Johnson Creek EMS and Fort Atkinson paramedics, all responded to the residence where the shooting occurred.
There, with his father, Nimm was located with a fatal gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead by the Jefferson County Coroner's office about 35 minutes later. The cause of death was ruled to be a single, .22 caliber gunshot wound to the head.[/i]

the story is sad but he is stupid he probably is like since the gun isn't loaded il point it 2 my my head and pull the trigger it will be AWESOME!!

Wait, it was the kid with the cardboard weapons? Not trying to be disrespectful, but there was something about that kid that seemed like he was the type to get picked on a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if this was an intentional suicide. I hope the parents are OK, and RIP, Halo Kid. -GR01

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TT RYCO Watch the parents try and blame the video game. [/quote] i would LMAO if they actually tried that. but hey, they were stupid enough to give him a gun, theyre stupid enough to play the blame game.

Pics or it didnt happen.

That is why they have the little "M" in the corner. Those have to be bad parents. I bet if the kid was caught with a drug, they would tell him to not do it again, and let him on his way with no real discipline.

http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=25838924 Tragic story, but what does halo have to do with the suicide? In what point of the gun can you aim the gun at yourself? This is just another case of negligent parents having an gun accessible to an 11 yr old in their household.

Clearly it's Canada's fault.

Watch the parents try and blame the video game.
