In an interview with detectives, Spellman said he, Dickson and a third man were playing Diablo II. Both Spellman and Dickson were playing the game from separate places on the same property, communicating via headset.
Dickson apparently became upset when a random player entered the game and 'stole' a valuable piece of loot that the party hadn't collected. The game should have been password protected but wasn't, and the affidavit says Spellman told detectives that Dickson began "yelling, name-calling and cursing at him."

Spellman said Dicksons rant went on for three to five minutes, and he told Dickson he needed to calm down or he was going to get shot. Spellman took his gun from beside his computer and went to the main house on the property (both he and Dickson lived in smaller houses on the same land). Per the affidavit: "I asked him why his pistol was next [to] the computer. [Spellman] replied, 'Why not? This is America.'"
While walking between the houses, Spellman fired the gun into the air, before entering the main house. He apparently spoke to his father inside the house before Dickson also entered, and verbally remonstrated with Spellman about the earlier threat to shoot him. Per the affidavit, Dickson "closed the distance" between the pair, and Spellman shot him.
Dickson was shot in the torso and was taken to hospital, where he underwent surgery but died from his injuries.

god damn

Spellman and Dickson, Huh?

I dropped an Enigma on the ground and left it there for a while and it disappeared. I later found out runewords disappears if it sits on the ground for longer than 10 minutes. I was so mad lmao.

It's not uncommon in Diablo 2. People do public boss runs and randos join in and follows and pick up loot as the boss dies.

What a gun humping moron that Spellman is.

Firing your gun in the air as you walk between houses as some kind of macho flex after threatening to shoot a friend over video game loot? A prime example of a dipshit who has no business owning a firearm.

Damn, dude killed his boy of 26 years over diablo loot. Gotta' be something else going on mentally for the one dude to black out like that when it comes to shooting his friend.

Now I am sitting here wondering just how many dudes probably died after swiping someone's dropped equipment and the dudes who got jacked finding out where said guy lives from playing phantasy star online on the dreamcast.
