Time for yet another "violent rampage vaguely connected to videogames" story, because we know you love those so much. This one's a real winner though. A man playing an unspecified Wii game allegedly got so frustrated that he bit his mother in the ankle, shot a window, then hit a pedestrian with his car. Wow.
Police were called to the trailer park (obviously) after James Williams embarked on the twisted brainwrong of a one-off man mental. As well as biting his mother's ankle and hitting someone with his car, Williams also rammed several vehicles while driving and eventually crashed into a tree. Fellow trailer park residents pursued him, but the lunatic wielded a B.B Gun and used it on another car's window.
When a cop finally arrived, Williams launched himself at the police car, but was tased as he jumped off the vehicle's hood.
It's not been revealed what the game was, but I'm personally hoping it was Just Dance.
