An 11-year-old boy has been charged with criminal homicide after his father was fatally shot in the family’s home.
According to Pennsylvania State Police, the boy had his Nintendo Switch taken away shortly before the shooting, and was ordered to go to bed.
In court documents obtained by local NBC News affiliate WGAL News 8, police identified Clayton Dietz, of Perry County, Pa., as the suspect in his father’s death. According to ABC Eyewitness News, police at the scene said they overheard Clayton tell his mother, “I killed Daddy.”
The incident occurred on Clayton’s birthday.
Douglas Dietz, 42, died from a gunshot wound to the head, according to the documents.
Dietz was found in his bed in the master bedroom he shared with his wife, which is connected to his son’s bedroom by a closet, according to the affidavit.

She said she tried to nudge her husband awake, but he didn’t move, according to the legal filing. She heard what she assumed was water dripping, but upon turning on the light, she discovered it was blood.
Police said Clayton came into the room and said, “Daddy’s dead.”

The kid, like all murderers, whether minors, need to be sent to their makers. The same with adult murderers. Kill them all, let God sort them out.
It is the only way to be sure, and they may have a chance to repent before their deaths. What is more just than having a date certain with death? No screwing around, and not asking for forgiveness, because you have to shit or get off the pot on that question. JMO....
“ Dietz and his wife adopted Clayton in 2018, investigators said.”
Probably some bad habits on the part of the birth mother.
“Police said Clayton came into the room and said, “Daddy’s dead.””
Given the gaming mentality of today’s youth, I expect the next question would be, “where will he respawn?”
Sorry wrong thread…LOL!
Scrambled eggs for brains.
Could be a drug baby pawned off so the state wouldn’t have to support him.
Damaged goods thanks to the cartels.
I SAW Timmy physically manhandle his son during one of his stage appearances when he was campaigning with the alcoholic slut. I was absolutely enraged.
I wouldn’t be surprised at anything on this man - the worst of crimes, countless victims - nothing would surprise me.
Absolutely. Scandinavian studies show at least 50% heritability in twin studies.
The kid was hard wired for that violence.
