Quote:
MESA, Ariz. -- A teenager who confessed to killing his father last month told police he hated his dad for taking away his Internet access, according to a police report released Wednesday.

Hughstan Schlicker, 15, called 911 on Feb. 6 and told the dispatcher he had just shot his father in the head with a 12-gauge shotgun.

"I hate my dad, couldn't take it anymore," he said, according to the report.

Schlicker told police his father had taken away his Internet access after seeing suicide threats the teen had posted on social networking Web site MySpace.com.

Schlicker had posted the threats in January; friends in Florida had seen the postings, talked him out of killing himself and called Mesa police. Police said they told Schlicker's mother about the threats; she allegedly told them she wasn't worried and promised to lock up any guns in the house.

Schlicker said he often spent entire days on MySpace and couldn't cope when his father cut off his access to the site.

"It felt like I was stabbed with a knife and it went straight through and … no matter how hard I pulled, I couldn't pull out the knife," Schlicker said, according to an interview transcript in the police report.

Schlicker said that on the day of the shooting, he called in sick from school by faking his father's voice.

At one point during the day, Schlicker said, he went to the garage to get a drink and found his father's shotgun and ammunition lying on the counter.

Schlicker said he took the gun to his room, intending to kill himself in front of his father when his father arrived home. He later changed his mind and decided to kill his father first, then kill himself, according to the police report.

Schlicker told police he had decided that if his father came home after 4 p.m., he wouldn't carry out his plan; when his father came home early, at 2 p.m., Schlicker was waiting on the stairs with the shotgun, according to the report.

Schlicker said he waited till his father was in the kitchen, then walked up behind him and shot him in the back of the head.

After the shooting, Schlicker said, he called a female friend and told her he had killed his father and was about to kill himself. Schlicker said she talked him out of it and convinced him to call police instead.

Schlicker expressed remorse during a police interview, telling detectives "I wish I didn’t do this," and "I miss Dad."

During the interview, Schlicker portrayed his father as a loving man who only wanted the best for him and who used to take him on hunting trips.

"Me and my dad would go squirrel hunting," Schlicker said, according to the interview transcript. "Apparently he trusts me with a rifle."

Schlicker was charged with first-degree murder and will be tried as an adult.


Linky

That's very sad.

Makes me glad that I don't have any sort of Myspace/Facebook addiction.

Although, I must admit. I do go a little crazy if I don't have access to the Internet whilst I'm at home. Losing priviledges like that can be hell sometimes but I'd never shoot my Father. XD

Bloody nutcase. Course, it would never of happened if there was no guns in the house. Seemed to change his mind a lot, he'd have never of gone out his way to find an illegal gun to use.

If he liked his Dad, then why did he kill him? Makes no sense.

Read it again. He said he was angry at his Dad because he took away his Internet access, the only way to communicate to a certain amount of his friends.

He was on MySpace for very long periods of time and when something like that suddenly gets taken away from you. You get PO'ed. Why he killed his Dad? Who knows... People are crazy.

Afterwards he claimed he regretted doing what he did and said his Dad was a decent person and wished he had never killed him.

I wonder how many friends he had if he was on MySpace constantly. :roll:

Uhh...

Pathetic.

Myspace isn't worth an addiction. HOW THE HELL can you get ADDICTED to MYSPACE?

What a little punk. I swear someone should of hacked it, and posted nasty pictures all over it.

Then again, he'd like it.

The Dad sounds like an idiot and a bad parent to me.

First off his son is threatening suicide and he takes away the net, that only upset him more. Why didn't his dad try and get him help if he really felt suicidal? And secondly, leaving a gun around the house when your kid is threatening suicide? I've had friends who self harmed and their parents have kept every knife in the house in locked boxes to stop them. So leaving a gun around the house when you've got an emotionally **** up teenager around is just idiotic. In a way the guy contributed to his own death, had he been more careful and a better parent it wouldn't have happened.

It also stated that his Mother said they had locked up all the guns away.

Yeah... except the shotgun in the garage.

.. And he killed his father with the shotgun that he obviously knew the location of and was able to access. Thus my original point stands.

Edit: typo, Check Alex's quote for hilarity. Mature!

I wasn't trying to prove your point wrong or anything. I was adding to it by mentioning the mistakes of his Father.

Lol. Shoutgun. XD

Okay... I've been annoyed when I have to get off the internet or w/e, but that's just idiotic.

How can you blame the Dad for his own death? He may have had a small chance of preventing it, but his son is a nutjob.

Want me to just C&P it again?

Rhetorical question... Do you at least admit that the son was **** up to begin with?

He'd have stabbed him instead, or something.

If you fully intend to kill someone, like he did, you don't need a gun.
