The father won't be charged. In America everybody has a right to have guns, and they don't have to lock them up (alot of them refuse to because then if a hypothetical axe murderer came into the house they could quickly grab it) and given the fact that it was loaded, i'm sure the father doesn't really take note of gun safety.

Kids in America have easy access to guns, it's sad but hey, if the government wants to give them that right they deserve the results.

Australia is different, you can have guns, but you need to have them locked up, and the ammo has to be locked in a seperate cabinet.

man, that's just plain carelessness on the father's part!!

 V  Agreed i mean what kinda Dumbass father leaves a loaded gun near his children

 I blame the dumbass brother but mostly the idiotic father. You don't leave loaded guns near children! WTF. >_< This is sad and didn't have to happen.

 Dear God, kids are killing each other just to appear on the front page MMOsite....I wonder where the f*ck is my sister *grabs an axe*.

Lol, no joke this is bad, kids are going crazy.

"YouLickAndy" - How old are you?  Laughing that a 9 year old was killed?

His parents knew there was a loaded weapon in the house and they didnt bother to keep it out of the kid's hands. Thats one problem but also the parents taught their children that THIS is how you solve a problem? If this kid didnt try this now, chances are he would of tried something similar with other kids later on. This is the behaviour that started shooting sprees in our schools. Kids who think a gun will give them a short cut to power and respect.

I understand the parents are going through hell right now, losing a child under ANY circumstances has got to be the end of the world for them. But they need to take responsbility for the behaviour they either taught or encouraged in their children.

one word can mention this "accident" ____sucks. how come this thing will happen.. and it is because of the video game... low eq.... and how come the kids can get te gun so ezly.... i m doubting.

 well thats why we have a term "it's just a game

*Sigh* This happened between me and my cousin when we were playing Naruto Shippuden 2 on PS2. But he didn't shoot me......He went to the other room and punched a window.....=P

how is it accidental if he shot him ?? i quote  "a 11-year-old Mississippi boy has accidentally killed his nine-year-old brother with a shotgun after a fight over video game." OMG READ IT AGAIN !!!

"a 11-year-old Mississippi boy has accidentally killed his nine-year-old brother with a shotgun after a fight over video game."

Sucks.

O.O the dad got away usually they dont i mean some ladies getting put in jail cuz she left her baby w/ her bf and he beat the shyt outta the baby and she didnt even kno he was abusive or anything

too many game-related violence lately.

I agree, the father should be charged. Jeez its his responsibility to make things like that inaccessible to his children. If he didn't feed/clothe them, he would be charged with child endagerment, yet when he allows them to have access to a gun that could KILL one of them and in this case did just that, then thats ok? Stupid U.S. government and their hillbilly citizens who can't understand the concept of a safer and nonviolent existence.

ouch... thank god my brothers know i would beat they ass if we argue over a game. haha

u'd think a 11 years old would never have a gun at reach, what are these people thinking? its unbelivable

am not surprised, the US government really should do something to guns control. 

Lol bro got pwned. 

The father should definitely be charged with something... to have his "loaded" gun where either of his sons could reach it is just unforgivable.

But yeah, atleast the games weren't blamed... again..

Sad story.
