Halo Kid Killed

A Halo fan who found infamy on Youtube after filming himself imitating the game has accidentally killed himself in a Halo stunt.

11-year old-Nimm gained Youtube infamy after filming himself in homemade Master Chief outfits.

The boy from Johnson Creek, Wisconsin acted out exact game animations using cardboard armour and weapons. Nimm was at home, skipping school in order to practice his moves using a .22 rifle as a prop, when he apparently shot himself in the head by accident.

Police and paramedics responded, but the boy was pronounced dead 35 minutes after their arrival. Nimm had extensive knowledge of the Halo game, but unfortunately lacked the experience with real firearms. The blame has been placed on weapon control, but this incident will likely provide another argument against violent games.
