Anne Arundel County police say they have discovered the cause of a Friday night shooting in Edgewater: an Xbox game system.

Angry that his roommates were being too loud at 2 a.m., Robert Preston Kersey, 34, of the 1700 block of Fairhill Drive stormed into the living room and fired a single gunshot into the game system, disabling it, police said. The 9mm gunshot did not penetrate the system and did not injure anyone at the scene, police said.

Kersey has been charged with two counts of reckless endangerment and one count of destruction of property, police said.




I new the thing was tough, but damn. 9mm slugs just bouncing off of it. :yikes: Hopefully, one of those guys will take a pic and post it on the net somewhere.

Yeah sorry I always skip over the front page and come right to the forums anyways...

I am trying to catch master of posts there... not doing to good.. but that article on the front is sweet... betcha a .45 ACP would have done it.. the difference between stopping power and killing power...

i find that a little hard to believe, the shot probably just grazed the system or hit it at a sharp angle.

Yeah for sure. I also find it hard to believe a 9mm slug wouldn't go through an Xbox. I mean....wow, interesting, but wow.

An Xbox stopping a 9mm? I'm sure it hit at an off angle, because a bullet is sure to go through an Xbox; unless Microsoft predicted shootings like this http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads6/mischief.gif
