    FRESNO, Calif. —
    Police arrested college student Tuesday suspected of opening fire at an apartment during a dispute over a video game console, killing one man and wounding two others.

    Jonquel Brooks, 19, was taken into custody after a series of intense phone negotiations with police, his parents and an attorney, Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said.

    Police said the shooting across a street from the California State University, Fresno, stadium broke out during a confrontation with four men over a Playstation game console late Monday.

    Brooks, who was majoring in criminology at Fresno State, was arrested after police and federal agents launched a manhunt for him. Investigators initially believed he was still inside the apartment complex where the shooting occurred, but then expanded the search to other parts of Fresno.

    "The suspect had altered his appearance significantly," Dyer said. "He shaved his head and also changed his clothing apparently in an attempt to avoid being recognized."

    The Fresno County Coroner's Office identified the deceased victim as a Brant Daniels, 19, who had moved from the Los Angeles area to attend Fresno State but was not a current student.

    Police identified the two wounded men as Fresno State student Roderick Buycks, 19, and Drew Pfeiff, 22, who is not enrolled at the university.

    Fresno State students were never in danger because police were in contact with the gunman and knew he was not on campus, Dyer said.

    Police were searching for evidence, including the gun, at six apartments at University Village Apartments.

    My only thought is this was a man.

    *censored*,I joined the US Army at 17 years old.

    I think he needs 20 years to think about it.
    Sorry,The USA has ruined the language The United Kingdom loaned us. We do our best not to type gibberish. I Hope you can forgive us.

      This isn't the first thing of its kind to happen either.  Just the other day a girl was shot in I think New York over the Sidekick 3 phone... It's ridiculous...

        PS2, in my opinion, is cool. Not the PS3, though...

          The PS2 and the Sidekick are not to blame here...

          Good point here, it may have the looks but it sure doesn't have all the performance capabilities Windows has...

          A few months ago in a lounge at the airport, I saw this guy with a mac laptop and on the keyboard he had this white cover so his hands don't touch the keyboard itself and he kept cleaning the back and the screen like very five minutes.
          It seemed like he was married to his mac........
          I don't remember but i think he had gloves on too.   :o

          I dunno, man, I think I could shoot someone over a Sidekick.  As long as I didn't have to pay for the services.

          Using that logic if you shot the provider cause you didn't want to pay you would be out of luck, no ? ?
