Police gun down teen accused of stealing PlayStation

A TEENAGER accused of robbing a student of two new PlayStation 3s on the day the game consoles were launched was shot dead by police who had been sent to arrest him.

Peyton Strickland, 18, was killed at a house he shared with three roommates in Wilmington, North Carolina.

New Hanover County Sheriff Sid Causey said: “If this boy would’ve come to the door, opened the door, we probably wouldn’t be talking.”
