A local SWAT team in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, engaged in a gun battle with a 107-year-old man on Saturday, eventually killing him.

Police received a report that centenarian Monroe Isadore had pointed a gun at two people. By the time they arrived at the home, Isadore had locked himself in the bedroom. He shot at the police through the door after they identified themselves, according to Fox News.

A SWAT team was called in to handle the situation. The officers inserted a camera into the bedroom to ascertain that Isadore was in possession of a handgun. They then introduced a poison gas into the room to compel Isadore to surrender. When this failed, they hurled a “distraction device” into the room, according to police reports.

GTA V is somehow to be blamed...

Since just last week, an eight-year-old boy picked up a loaded gun and shot his elderly caregiver in the head a few minutes after playing Grand Theft Auto IV. The boy, who has name suppression, told authorities he was playing with Ms Smothers’ Colt .38-calibre Detective Special revolver when it accidentally went off, but police believe the shooting was intentional. Smothers appeared to have been deliberately shot in the back of the head while watching television, and died at the scene.

Yeah it's so, GTA is evil and must be blamed for everyone's else actions in the US of A, which allows full access to weapons to the kids and elderly! We must sign a petition against GTA! Plus it contains spyware and subliminal messaging!

Why did Ms Smothers have a Colt .38-calibre Detective Special revolver in the first place? D:

For the kid to play with fully loaded with the safety off, why else? Police wouldn't waste their time investigating that, this is America, land of the free to protect yourself from zombies!

And why was an eight-year-old kid allowed to play GTA V? Seems like a case of poor parenting / monitoring. Can imagine the kid's home environment isn't the greatest, not that this would be an excuse.

GTA IV not V. Apparently, V is blamed for the old man, or at least will be when it's out

who left their guns in the kids range?
also blame the game is a excuse from the non responsible parents or for do not shame the country for having bad parents.
sorry but...
games makes people angrier? yes
games are the reason of all murder made by gamers? no

I agree that game changes our behavior if we are already down, frustrated, depressed, having home instability, bad parenting... but not the game itself.

I cant see the big picture, what is the connection between a shooting from a 107 old guy and an accident with a 8 year old kid.
and how can they blame GTA?? (ok on the kid's case it's understandable they blame the game but the old man didnt play any kind of game or whatever)

For those that didn't get it, It was a troll comment in regards to signing those petition against/for GTA V. While both new reports are actually real and did sadly happen, the media is stupid, blaming a game for them I'm showing is clearly ridiculous (as they attempted to do with that kid as a scapegoat for bad parenting). The real reason is weapons allowed to their access, for those who shouldn't have them (didn't matter if they play games or not).

Behind all that and the real reason for this entire crazy post is the 'Painkiller: Black Edition' key giveaway hiding away. Find the three invisible links and merge them.

I'm sure you're just trying to be funny, and I did indeed chuckle. To clear it up for anyone else, they tear gassed him, he opened fire, they breached and used the distraction device (like a flashbang) and he fired at them, they fired back.

It was a comparison, that's how it's related (both shooting, need something to blame). Behind it is a giveaway, yet your still falling for the troll part to keep it hidden (even thought I clearly told everyone after it was taken).
