Boy Kills Brother Over Computer Volume Level

Siblings fight all the time, sure. And nowadays, the disputes tend to center around the family gadgets -- anything from control of the TV remote to whose turn it is on the Wii. Most of the time, it doesn't escalate beyond a few gentle pushes or shoves, or perhaps some shed tears. A recent argument between brothers over a computer, though, ended in shocking tragedy.

William Gorzynski, 15, has been charged with stabbing and killing his 14-year-old brother Matthew after the two got in an argument over the volume of a computer Monday. By all accounts, the two enjoyed a normal, playfully contentious sibling relationship, and the family and its lawyers are portraying the tragedy as an anomalous event that they "can't even comprehend."

The incident, which occurred not long after another teen stabbing in the same city, has already prompted a response in the community. Coral Springs, Florida mayor Scott Brook plans to hold a town hall meeting in order to discuss youth violence. [From: South Florida Sun-Sentinel]
