Eight-year-old shoots caregiver, 87, dead 'after playing Grand Theft Auto and tries to claim it was an accident'

An eight-year-old boy who allegedly shot dead his 87-year-old caregiver with her own gun had played a violent video game that awards points for killing people just minutes earlier. The boy, who has not been identified, was playing Grand Theft Auto IV before shooting relative Marie Smothers in the back of the head as she watched television in her Louisiana mobile home on Thursday night. The boy won't be charged for shooting Smothers, pronounced dead at the scene, because of his age.
