ISLAMABAD/MEXICO CITY: Authorities said that a ten-year-old Mexican boy shot another child because he beat him while playing a video game in the violent eastern state of Veracruz.
According to the AFP, the boy took the gun from the family home and shot dead the eleven-year-old victim in the head after becoming upset at a video game rental store. The child and his family later fled.

“I ask is that you help me to justice,” the victim’s mother told reporters at the funeral of her son.
She said that my son died because the parents of the child who killed my lovely son were irresponsible leaving a gun on the table.
Veracruz is one of Mexico’s violent states due to turf wars between drug traffickers.
More than 340,000 citizens have been murdered across the Latin American country since the government deployed the army in the war on drugs in 2006.
