FRAMINGHAM, Mass. — Framingham police say a 13-year-old middle school student pulled a knife on his teacher in the classroom and demanded money so he could buy a video game.

 The Fuller Middle School student is charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, possession of a knife and possession of a dangerous weapon.

Police Lt. Paul Shastany says the incident occurred at about 10 a.m. on Tuesday at the end of the period.
He says the male student stayed behind after the other students had left the classroom, pulled the 11-inch knife and asked for $20. After she refused, he lowered his demand to $1.

The teacher took the knife from the student.

Shastany says the boy wanted to buy the video game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" but his mother refused to give him the money, so he came up with an alternate plan.

EDIT:

Yahoo! Games provides a much more entertaining article.

Much has been written about the likelihood of Grand Theft Auto games prompting real-life crime, but despite the efforts of anti-game activists, little in the way of convincing evidence has been presented.

Er, until today. Police in Framingham, Mass. report a 13-year-old schoolboy attempted to rob his teacher at knifepoint for money to buy a copy of the notoriously violent Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. When she refused to give him the $20 he demanded, he asked for $1 instead.

Presumably unimpressed, she disarmed him, possibly in some kind of Crocodile Dundee-style "That's-not-a-knife-this-is-a-knife" showdown. Now the young scamp is charged with a range of varied and interesting crimes including assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and possession of a knife.

Ironically, if the boy's mother had bought him the game when he asked, this crime would have been prevented. You read it here first, folks: reduce your local violent crime rate by buying video games for kids.
