A man was arrested for fatally shooting his 68-year-old mother after he threatened to kill both his parents over a broken video game headset, police said.
Matthew Nicholson, 28, was playing video games in the bedroom of his Ceres, Calif., home on Wednesday night when an argument broke out with his mother Lydia Nicholson.
Nicholson shot his mother in the head and fled to a relative's home before he was later arrested during a traffic stop, police said.
The 28-year-old started yelling while he was playing video games in his bedroom on Wednesday night, police said.
When the mother went to check on him, Matthew Nicholson argued with her and broke his own headset.
Matthew Nicholson then blamed his mom and threatened to kill both his parents before he grabbed a handgun in the home, police said.
He shot his mother in the head before his 81-year-old father Loren Nicholson wrestled the gun out of his hands, according to police.
A family friend told Fox40, "I understand that he would've killed the father too, but the gun jammed. The father grabbed the gun, emptied it."
Wanna bet he voted for Hillary?

I am happy his dad got the gun from him. People who are a threat to their parents should not have a gun.
