On Monday in southern California, a fight broke out with one teen wounded and one baseball bat-wielding Good Samaritan ending up dead. All of this over a Nintendo DS.

According to KTLA News, a teenage boy arranged to meet four teens met at a local shopping center to sell a Nintendo DS. The four teens planned to rob the seller. A fight broke out, and one of the four teenagers drew a gun.

A man who apparently saw what was happening tried to break up the fight. As he approached with a baseball bat, the man, whom the police believe was a Good Samaritan, was shot in the torso.

The KTLA report explicitly mentions a Nintendo DS, but it could have been a 3DS.
