Mortal Kombat Killers [Tragedy]




A 7 year-old girl is dead, and two teens are being tried as adults. A Colorado judge ruled last Friday that there was enough evidence to take Lamar Roberts, 17, and Heather Trujillo, 16, for child abuse resulting in the death of Trujillo's half-sister, Zoe Gracia. Both will be tried as adults. According to authorities, Gracia died after being kicked, hit and pounded on the floor as the two teens re-enacted Mortal Kombat. Roberts pushed Zoe, twisted the child's arms and held her ankles, according to Trujillo. Police Detective Kathy Halldorson said that Roberts told a friend, "he was doing martial arts on her (Zoe) and that his hands were registered weapons." Tasteless fatality jokes and worrying about how-this-affects-games aside, this is a terrible, terrible tragedy.


Eds Note: Fahey points out that I should've linked back to the 200 other stories where Mortal Kombat is blamed for murder.
