Report: Saudi Boy, 4, Kills Father Over PlayStation
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.

!? 4 yr old able to use a gun? i find it hard to believe a4 yr-old could get passed the security lock, cock the gun, and (depending on the model of gun) have enough strength to squeeze the trigger.
unless the father left a loaded gun, with a bullet pre-cocked into the chamber and safety switch disabled, i would look into the wife as a suspect, maybe she's just blaming it on the kid ;)

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.
