11-year-old boy shoots trooper father with his gun for taking away his video games
An Indiana State trooper was allegedly shot by his son inside his Granger home this past February because his video games were taken away, state court documents. The documents, which were obtained by WSBT, state that St.
Joseph County Police responded to the home on Conover Drive on February 22 on reports that an 11-year-old boy had shot his father. On arrival, they found Matt Makowski with a gunshot wound to the pelvic area and rushed him to the hospital for surgery.
Makowski told the police that his son had shot him and that "he must have retrieved his firearm from his parked vehicle outside of the home." Afterward, when detectives questioned the preteen, he confessed he had been planning on shooting his father since school that day and that he was angry because his video games had been taken away.
