An angry four-year-old Saudi boy shot and killed his father for refusing to buy him a PlayStation, Saudi media reported on Monday.

The Asharq daily, citing police in the southern Jizan area, said the child, aged four years and seven months, grabbed his father's pistol and shot him in the head.

According to the newspaper, the child had asked his father to buy him a PlayStation and the shooting took place after the man returned home without the desired object.

As he was undressing, the man put the weapon down, which the child then grabbed and fired at him from close range.

I think it was a revolver. His dad showed him how to cock it and then squeeze. This boy will never recover from this freaky accident.

It's the father's own fault for owning a gun, for having it loaded in the house, and for leaving it in front of his child.
