Teen Kills Great-Grandmother With Sword Over Video Game

A 15-year-old boy is behind bars after allegedly stabbing his grandmother and killing his great-grandmother in a dispute over a video game.

Douglas County sheriff's officials say the teenager used a 36-inch sword to stab his grandmother, 55-year-old Laura Prince, in the arm and to kill his great-grandmother, 77-year-old Mary Joan Gibbs.
Officers arrived at the home Monday afternoon and found the grandmother barricaded inside a room and the great-grandmother lying lifeless in the front yard, Douglas County Sheriff Phil Miller said.

The teen was standing in the doorway with what officers described as a full-sized sword and a pellet rifle, Miller said.

Officers used a stun gun to take the teen into custody after a standoff.

A family friend told local TV station WSBTV that the teen was angry about being asked to stop playing the video game Halo.

This is not the boy's first run in with authorities.
