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.
