Video Games Blamed For Tomorrow's Shooting

Video games are to blame in tomorrow's murder of 4 college students at the University of Arizona.

"He loved to play Alien Hominid," said Jeff Troudels, a roommate of Mark Rancher, the killer who committed suicide shortly after the slayings. "When he kills those people tomorrow, there's no doubt in my mind that he will draw his inspiration from that game."

Rancher's mother agrees.

"I told him to stop playing those games and go outside to play," said Marian Rancher. "His friends were always staging fake wrestling matches and playing Cops and Robbers. I don't know why he didn't want to play with them."

Authorities investigating the crime that will take place at 4:00 PM tomorrow in the Livingston Dormitory are also pointing a finger at video games.

"We know that he was an angry kid who didn't like to talk to people, who was always writing violent stories and who was always drawing sadistic cartoons," said local Sheriff Travis Yardley. "We also know that he loved Super Mario Brothers."

Yardley is warning students who live in the Livingston Dormitory that there will be a murder tomorrow and not to worry or panic.

"We will try to detain Mr. Rancher but we will let him go right before 4 PM because it's just annoying to have him around."
