Online gamer is stabbed 22 times

An online Xbox fight dramatically escalated when a 17-year-old boy stabbed his friend 22-times after first attempting to shoot him.

Living just doors apart, 20-year-old Kevin Kemp and the unnamed teenager became embroiled in an argument while using their Xbox Live headsets and their crossed words became heated.

As their banter turned bitter, Kemp issued a challenge to his friend to make the short journey to his house to finish their fight, unaware that the teenagers raged had turned murderous.

'He walks up to my room and he points the gun right at me and takes out the clip and shows his bullet, puts it back in the gun, tries to shoot me and he shot it and it went right past my head,' said Kemp.

'Almost hit me.' Then producing a knife, the raging teen proceeded to stab his friend 22 times across his body, narrowly missing his heart and major arteries across his chest.

'We were just talking over headsets,' said Kemp.

'I'm like, 'Bro, if you want to do this, come over to my house and we'll do this right now.'

Hearing his friend drop his headset, Kemp was stunned by the speed at which he arrived at his front door.

The friend reportedly barged past his mother on the way into Kemp's house holding the handgun and the knife.

Fleeing the scene, Kemp was tended to by paramedics at the scene.

'We were standing out here when they carried him out,' said neighbour Dylan Fulkerson.
'He was covered in blood, he was on the stretcher and what not.'

Kemp told CBS Sacramento that he think the friendship with the teenage family friend is over.

The teen is facing one charge of burglary and two counts of attempted murder.

'It's kind of unusual in that regard,' said Jimmy Lee of the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department.

'Haven't heard of something happening online, whether it was playing games or chatting, that led to an attack like this.'

People do not play games for fun anymore, it's all about owning your opponent and boosting your ego. And why does it always involve a X-Box? Sane people have a PS3 lol.

This is why I don't talk through a headset because everyone I normally run into take it way to seriously
 
Who knew video games could cause a direct act of violence like that, I mean there are some incidents that could have been caused by games but not directly.

OMG! That is just messed up. I do have to say that gamers are insulting ppl calling each other noobs, will result in this type of tragedy.
 
The shame is that someone is going to blame this on violence in video games, when in actuality the content of the game has nothing to do with it. It has to do with people getting way too serious about gaming because they've completely lost touch with reality. This guy would have gotten into a murderous rage during a heated match of Bust-a-move.

On that note, kudos to the media for not reporting what game they were playing. At least there won't be any game- or developer- specific stupid backlash. Unless it comes out later.

I always call myself a scrub, I tell my opponents that I got lucky when I beat them. But hey, I do not play FPS games and COD, players must feel like they've brought shame upon their whole families when they lose in those games, that's why I stick to MK.
 
Surviving 22 stabs? Goddamn op Juggernaut.

He's the new scarface.





Yeah I for some reason see someone blaming games for this as well. Jack Thompson anybody?

This kid probably would've raged into a murderous intent with something else if it wasn't this. I haven't played FPS competitively since halo 2. So I don't know just how bad the community is.

I know SC2 and MK9 and SSBM are great communities in general. (Obviously some MK9 online players are douches, but if you play with members of the forum like TYM or TRMK or MKU you will more than likely not find that kind of attitude.

I've seen kids about to kill eachother over Poke'mon cards/YuGiOh cards.

Right. It's more frustrating that some people use real money to bet one another in games. That will definitely cause violent reactions. I was stupid to bet agree with one of my ex-friends to bet 100 dollars for a battle in MKA that I lost to. If I was someone else, he would've gotten his ass killed already.

But you were the idiot who agreed to the bet. He didn't force you, it was on your own volition. The same people that would kill over a lost bet that they agreed to are the same people who would kill for looking at them funny.
