"When officers came to college student Peyton Strickland’s rental home to arrest him, he reportedly answered the door and was shot multiple times by police after they broke down the door and exchanged words. Strickland's dog was also shot and killed in the incident.

On PS3’s U.S. launch date on November 17, another college student, Justin Raines, had bought two of the hard-to-find consoles at a Wal-Mart. When he got back to his apartment, two assailants attacked him with a blunt object and made off with the systems. Strickland was allegedly one of the attackers, and the other is believed to be 20-year-old student Ryan David Mills, who was arrested Friday under the same charges as Strickland. The two were accused of armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and breaking and entering."
