16-Year-Old Girl Fatally Shoots Gamer For His PS4


Recommended Posts

Danny Zeitz was shot and killed Friday over a PS4. A GoFundMe page has been set up to help his family with funeral costs.

A teen girl shot and killed a man as she and her boyfriend tried to rob the victim of his Playstation 4, police say.

The victim, 28-year-old Daniel John Zeitz of Roswell, Georgia, met up with the couple Friday after posting a Craigslist ad to sell the gaming console. The alleged shooter is an unnamed 16-year-old girl whose 16-month-old baby was sitting in the car, only a few feet away during the robbery, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Sandy Springs police Sgt. Ron Momon told the paper that the suspect and her boyfriend, 20-year-old Nathaniel Vivian, met Zeitz in an apartment parking lot, posing as potential buyers.

The suspects were sitting in their car when Zeitz approached at about 9:30 p.m. Vivian allegedly tried to pull the PS4 into the car. When Zeitz resisted, his girlfriend allegedly pulled the trigger on her .25 caliber handgun, sending a bullet through Vivian's hand and into Zeitz's chest, killing him.

Vivian and the girl were arrested later that night when they went to Northside Hospital to treat Vivian's gunshot wound, police said.

The 16-year-old girl will now be charged as an adult, though her name hasn't yet been released.

I feel terrible about the victim, I recently also sold my PS4 and decided to post it on ebay for a total sale of 350.00 USD.

 

I have heard many stories of incidents from friends involving craigslist.com.

 

 Anyway I can promise you that both the 16 year old teenage girl and her 20 year old boyfriend come from some really messed up broken homes,Its unfortunate that murders like this cant be avoided because really bad people keep having kids and taking advantage of the welfare system in America.

 

I believe there should be two mandatory requirements in order to receive help from the U.S government, random drug test and random visits from a social worker at least 4 times a month.

 

Also, I'm sure it started in school the signs they were both going to be terror to society and I believe when these signs first arrived consequences should be in place such as a mandatory reform program such as bootcamp and military service in combat zones if they want pistols in their hands against our own country men.

With all the discussions about gun laws surly this does the 'rights to bear arms' no good at all.

 

16 year old girl has a gun for protection but uses it as an offensive weapon.

The one times I have done a transaction on Craiglist I told the people I would only meet in daylight and I also initially suggested my local police departments parking lot.

One person bailed right away, so I knew they were potentially up to something no good.

When I actually did the transaction I then changed the meeting place to a place a place that was A) a very public area that allowed me a quick getaway if needed and B) also had lots of other people, i.e. witnesses. I also insisted it was still in the daytime.

 

And please people do not get it wrong and try to say I am insinuating that somehow this poor kid deserved to die. Obviously he did not. What I am saying is hopefully others can learn from this tragedy and realize if you are going to set up a transaction with strangers on Craigslist, do it in a way that you protect yourself.

I actually think your local police departments parking lot is a good choice, at least initially.

Why would someone do such a thing...

 

Unfortunately theres many factors why that begins with their childhood.

One likely factor is they both come from a home with parents that are savages themselves therefore they learned through childhood that violence and terror are tools that can be used to intimidate the nonviolent.

Perhaps they learned this from physical violence among their parents or other family members such as brothers,sisters,cousins,friends displaying unacceptable behavior as something normal.

Another likely factor is child abuse, physical beatings as a child can program an individual to grow up into a violent person.

 

This is why I am really passionated about America really addressing kids starting out as thugs at a young age because unless its stop then it will only progress into incidents such as this over and over again.

On top of all that, always take a buddy.

AFAIK, 16 year olds aren't allowed to purchase firearms. I think it depends on the state/gun you want but the minimum age for a pistol is actually 21. This either wasn't her gun or it wasn't obtained legally.

A 16 year old carrying a pistol on the street is illegal anywhere.

Shooting one at a range, or hunting with one, while supervised by an adult is another matter.

Federal law is 18 to purchase long firearms (rifle or shotgun) and 21 for handguns, but you can loan a handgun to a younger adult (say, an 18+ year old adult friend or child) for a legal use.

Many states set a possession age on handguns and getting a carry permit at 18 (age of majority.)

"Handgun" covers a lot of territory, ranging from a derringer, revolver or semi-automatic pistol to a semi-automatic MAC-10 or UZI.

I always take my .338 Lapua Magnum with 50x Schmidt & Bender scope and drive 1 mile from predetermined rendezvous location, put person in crosshairs, then call them to tell them to place the money in a small bag I set up the night before.  Then tell them to watch the ground at his/her feet while I put a round in the ground right next to them.  They have to watch because at that distance, it will be a couple seconds before they hear the shot.  Then I setup claymores all around the person's house, then...... I dont know why Im saying all this..
