DAD PUNCHED, KILLED MONTH-OLD SON AFTER LOSING VIDEO GAME

A 26-year-old father in Louisville, Kentucky, was so enraged when he lost a video game Friday night that he threw the video-game controller. Then Anthony Trice punched his one-month-old son in the head.

Afterward, according to court documents obtained by local media sources, Trice picked up the baby boy and went to prepare a bottle for him, and dropped the infant.

Trice called 911 when he realized the infant was โ€œin distress.โ€

The infant was transported to Norton Childrenโ€™s Hospital, where he died Sunday evening.

Trice had originally been charged with first-degree criminal abuse of a child; those charges have been upgraded to first-degree murder. Heโ€™s due in court next Monday.
