'I killed my mom with my .22. I don't know why I did it': Chilling 911 call reveals 13-year-old boy admitting he tried to rape and then shot dead his mom 'for taking away his Call of Duty video game'
•Noah Crooks, 14, is accused of shooting dead his mother, Gretchen Crooks, last March
•His father testified that Gretchen Crooks was the one who bought their son the .22 caliber Ruger used in the slaying
•Mother and son had a stormy relationship and Noah once said he wanted to kill her, William Crooks said

The jury in the murder trial of an Iowa teenager heard on Wednesday a disturbing 911 call in which the 13-year-old suspect admitted to killing his own mother after a failed attempt to rape her. Crooks, who is now 14, was charged with first-degree murder and assault with intent to commit sexual abuse in the March 24, 2012, slaying of his mother, 37-year-old Gretchen Crooks.

In the 911 recording made on the night of the murder at the family's Osage home, Noah Crooks could be heard telling dispatcher Barb Michael: 'I’m not joking at all. She’s dead. I’m scared. I killed my mom with my .22. I don’t know why I did it.'

Aww shit. What a messed up kid. Who would want to rape their mother? And who would buy their son (who clearly has some problems) a gun?

Shooting someone is related to cod, but raping them too...

Must've been from all the kids on cod saying they've fucked his mom; so fucking his mom must've been indoctrinated into his mind.

I Agree with Bartic.
Gifting a kid a gun.. sounds completely and utterly insane!

Doesn't seem surprising to me, I had a couple friends who had guns when I was a kid, though its not like they were allowed to touch them except when their dad took them to shoot it or go hunting.

But Seriously, he has threatened to kill his mother before.

When we're on the subject of guns for kids, in America. Just the other day i saw on the news that a 5 year old shot his 2 year old sister, with his own gun. The gun brand being "My first rifle", marketed for children ( http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/06/us/ke ... .html?_r=0 )

I don't get why you would buy a gun for a kid...

One thing is for sure, this is all Call of Duty's fault! Somebody sue Activision.

Her 11-year-old daughter, Taylor, said, “Since that little girl died, Dad got rid of all the guns in the house.”

Not quite, her mother corrected her. They removed at least one shotgun from their home, but not all. “You can’t put your children in a bubble,” Ms. Anderson said.

Nice thinking.

I know I'm going to get some flak for this, but there is nothing wrong giving a teenager a gun. It's who you're giving the gun to. There are thousands of kids out there with rifles in rifle competitions for aiming. Do you see them going around mass murdering? Nope.

It's all a mentality thing. Clearly if he tried to rape his mother then there is a clear issue there. Not that the child is the problem. Instead let's blame Call of Duty and guns! What ever happened to music being blamed?

Quote:

Addressing the jury panel, the lawyer said that a child psychiatrist will testify that Crooks suffers from intermittent explosive disorder - a mental illness marked by repeated episodes of impulsive, aggressive or violent behavior.

Ever notice the connection between all these incidents always involving some mental condition? Well, if I said all I'd be a liar. Majority.

Call of Duty - Illegal to purchase until the age of 18.
Handgun - Illegal to purchase until the age of 21.
Kid - 13 years old, has violent mental issues and threatens to kill his mother.

Yeah, let's give this psychopath a gun!
I really can't feel much sympathy for these people....

Please, for the love of Allah, keep your Farking guns locked up and away from the mentally insane.

The system isn't psycho proof as nearly anyone can obtain a gun... Even the people who check out as mentally stable to carry firearms can't be trusted....

I blame all dem sugary drinks! Dem sugary drinks done gone hyping up this generation! Makin' them into serial rapists! Back when I was a boy we didn't have sugar drinks and I didn't go raping no mums! I must be dem sugar drinks!

^Nobody blames the guns, but those idiots who called themselves parents. They shouldn't have bought him that rifle, but, because they did, they should've locked it up.

If you have a suitable habitat for it, why not? Teach em responsibility and not to jump in and play with it lol.

I saw alligators in pet stores when I was younger, if I had a place big enough for it to grow up in I would of gotten one.

But I stuck with turtles. I had huge snapping turtles though.

Ok seriously stop this bullshit child- gun apologists :palm:

.
If he kid didnt have a gun, it's way less likely that his mom would have died.

Teenagers (or people in general) are naturally impulsive (obviously this one was a total fcktard), they do stupid shit when mad but then realize it a few moments after it subsides. Again obv this kid is mentally fcked up, but he himself called 911 to tell them about it. If it was a knife or pan, she would have been wounded but not as easily killed as 1 trigger pull.

But but omg guns dun kill pplz kill pplzzzZzZz. Yes but having a gun makes it a lot fcking easier

If you stop the bullshit of blaming inanimate objects :3.

If the kid wasn't unstable she wouldn't of even been attacked~

I don't think anyone's arguing this individual shouldn't of had a gun tho.

Lol Not gunna argue this one for the 100th time, but I did learn one thing:

So let's be the maker of no fun allowed. Let's take away all the rifle competition, because one kid ruined it for everyone. Yay!

Here in the Netherlands I believe most people 'borrow' a gun from the
gun range when they want to shoot, and some have their own just for the
competition purposes. I personally think it's a bit naive to think that
the majority of people owning a gun in the United States own that gun to
join in on aiming competitions with strict rules.

My girlfriend let me read something in a magazine, it was about how American
families are proud of the guns and rifles they own. I saw parents with rifles,
of course only the biggest rifles would do, and kids holding handguns they
could barely lift. I know I'm not American and I probably don't know how it
feels, the feeling of safety, about being able to fend against intruders; where
I live, the risk of someone actually barging in with firepower is rather low.

To me it simply seems highly unlikely that the majority of gun owners participates
in aiming competitions. It seems way more likely that they own a gun to either be
able to defend themselves or to 'just own one, because everyone owns one'.

Plus, I think America could do with an age limit for guns. Same as for alcohol
and cigarettes. Guns can be very harmful for ones health and the person wielding
one should be very aware of the risks involved. Guns can in this case still be
sold to or wielded by complete and utter morons, but at least they are more likely
to be aware of the consequences of firing it than a kid.

Well, technically there are laws in place that place minimum age requirements when buying guns "legally" from dealers and individuals.

I'm not too knowledgeable on that law and too lazy to look it up again, but iirc it's something like 18y/o minimum age for shotguns/rifles, and 21y/o for a handgun from dealers. Ofc, there's varying circumstances that change the age, blah blah.

P.S.-
How's that tie doing?

Why is that the wrong way around?
