"Halo Kid' accidentally kills himself, was on Bnet front page 08
An 11-year-old Halo fan has accidentally killed himself in an apparent attempt to recreate scenes from the game.
Joshua Nimm had skipped school and was apparently playing Halo before using the .22 rifle as a prop in a recreation of the game when he apparently shot himself in the head by accident. The gun's magazine had been removed, but there was still a round left in the chamber.
Police and paramedics responded, but the boy was pronounced dead 35 minutes after their arrival. The blame has been placed on weapon control, but this incident will likely provide another argument against violent games.

Wow. This guy brings shame to the gaming community. The rules of life and the rules of gaming are two very different things. One rule of life, never point your own gun at your own head.
-
-
looks real to me, google the name Joshua Nimm. it's all over the place.
-
At least he went with style....NO SCOPEE!
-
That wasnt the kid!
-
he would've checked the chamber too if he took hunters education course
-
How unfortunate. Thats why you always handle guns with caution. Now i may seem a little sadistic here but does anyone know what scene he was acting out?
-
wow. should of stuck to cardboard guns
-
i heard the parents tried sewing bungie, it's their fault for leaving the gun in the reach of that kid with ammo in reach too, he probably hadn't gone to hunter safety course cause he hadn't checked the chamber for a bullet, I'm sorry you could never take the course kid R.I.P. Kid Also, there are more than one kid that had shot himself from creating halo or any game realy [Edited on 07.19.2009 6:00 AM PDT]

How did they know he was playing Halo, He skipped School took a 22 killed him self, no one was there and yet he was playing Halo. This is other people blaming Games for stupid actions.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] triggerhappy964 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ITUNDRABOYI this is why im glad in england guns are illegal. kids dont kill themselves and the media cant blame games, movies and music every time something goes wrong. they just blame people : )[/quote] Ya but crime rates are probably higher there then where I live because nobody but the criminals have guns. Look at the statistics gun control is bad.[/quote] I happen to live near a city which has crime rates, it is unbelievably rare to have a gun incident, always fighting, the people gets the guns off of others for a reasonable amount of money to, not from their parents. I guess the lesson is learned that Guns are dangerous.

You see, This is why I think the UK is more civilised: [b]Guns aren't the kind of thing most people can get their hands on, IT'S NOT NECESSARY FOR EVERYONE TO OWN A GOD DAMN GUN![/B]

Honestly why would and eleven year old be playing a M rated game. but this is really sad. R.I,P Halo kid.
-
I love the comments on the news page when this happened: [quote]"What was he trying to recreate?"[/quote][quote]"Erm... Respawning?[/quote]
-

Question, how the F did he shoot himself in the head? He clearly wasn't a huge fan, he didn't even look at the way the master chief helf his gun for christs sake...
