From the todaysthv.com:
The grandmother of a 17-year-old shot and wounded Sunday by an Arkansas State Police trooper says her grandson was angry because she had told him to stop playing his violent video games.

Georgia Gann said she grounded her grandson from playing the games the night before because he wouldn’t do his household chores. She said that triggered a violent episode that included the teenager choking her and threatening the trooper.

Though several of the articles about this story have mentioned video games, so far I've only seen one that mentions that this kid was mentally ill. Apparently it is more interesting that he played games. WREG-TV reports:
Family members attribute part of the teen's outburst to a mental condition. He takes medicine that treats bipolar disorder and migraines.
