http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TPANByjqh8 ~~~ This is the vid that made him famous http://www.gamegrep.com/news/13045-boy_accidently_kills_himself_trying_to_imitate_halo/ Boy accidently kills himself trying to imitate Halo Another alleged videogame related death. This time involving the popular Xbox shooter Halo. 11 year old Johnson Creek boy Nimm was apparently a big fan of Halo, even taking a liking to firearms after playing the futuristic FPS. While at home skipping school Nimm was apparently trying to imitate moves from the game with his .22 caliber rifle (a common pastime for the child). However he did not obviously grasp that a round could still be loaded in the chamber even when the magazine ejected and was found shot through the head yesterday. An 11-year-old Johnson Creek boy died from a gunshot wound Thursday at his home. Foul play is not suspected and the sheriff's department said this morning it appears the shooting was accidental. According to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department, dispatchers received a report of the shooting in the town of Farmington at approximately 2:15 p.m. Thursday. The deceased person was Joshua J. Nimm, 11, of W5098 River Road, Johnson Creek. Deputies, along with personnel from the Johnson Creek Police Department, Johnson Creek EMS and Fort Atkinson paramedics, all responded to the residence where the shooting occurred. There, with his father, Nimm was located with a fatal gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead by the Jefferson County Coroner's office about 35 minutes later. The cause of death was ruled to be a single, .22 caliber gunshot wound to the head. |

that story is so messed up. becuase even in the videos the kid is using nothing but cardboard weapons and stuff. Sorry if I sound like an ass but where did he get a gun and NOT JUST ANY GUN... but a 22 Caliber F'n Rifle?? The story should not be boy kills himself imitated a game. NO. it should read something like... "Stupid parents leave guns out for kids to play with" "Let's teach our kids the importance of gun safety and how to use them" |

Guns don't kill people. Stupid people kill people. But, at the same time, you can't hug your kids with fire arms. And for dramatic effect, the following MS Paint picture I made for this occassion. (just in case anyone misunderstood, I'm not trying to disrespect the kid or the parents. Just saying gun control should be the issue rather than the facto-mattero. Just agreeing with Jason!)
