I have nothing against gamers as a lot of them make a good living, but this 28-year-old just seemed like a loser, and I hope he rots in jail.
28-year-old California man is accused of fatally shooting his mother after an argument over a video game headset, police say.
Matthew Nicholson killed his 68-year-old mother, Lydia Nicholson, on January 11, the Ceres Police Department said in a press release. Police said Nicholson was in his bedroom playing video games when he became upset and started yelling. His mother went to check on him.
“Nicholson began to argue with her and he ended up breaking the headset to his video game. Nicholson then blamed the victim for the broken headset and threatened to kill the victim and Nicholson’s father,” police said. “Nicholson then retrieved a handgun from the home and fired two rounds into the wall inside the home and then shot the victim in the head.”
He tried to kill his father too, but the gun jammed before he fled the scene via the HEAVY.
