Bartow (USA) – A passionate gamer opened fire on his parents in Florida after they let him get a job.
As the Daily Mail reports, 23-year-old Joseph David Voigt apparently lost control when his father Marvin, 63, confronted him and advised him to get a job instead of spending all his time playing video games.
In a fit of rage, he shot his parents, leaving his father Marvin dead in the attack and his mother Susan in critical condition.
After the shooting, Joseph fled in the family car.

Life-saving measures were immediately initiated before she was taken to hospital.
The police searched intensively for the 23-year-old and were finally able to arrest him on the international drive.
During interrogation, Joseph confessed to killing his parents.
He was sent to prison and now had to stand trial for premeditated murder and attempted murder.
