tldr version: Slaughter, Louisiana trailer park. 8 year old boy headshots his grandma and kills her with a loaded gun found within the home, minutes after playing GTA 4 on the PS3.
"Under Louisiana law, a child younger than 10 is exempt from criminal responsibility"

The media is unsurprisingly blaming video games.

Rockstar's response (not sure if this was a statement made in the past or a response to this current event)
"Ascribing a connection to entertainment -- a theory that has been disproven repeatedly by multiple independent studies -- both minimizes this moment and sidesteps the real issues at hand,"
