Xbox helps man during home robbery

4.8
At a house in North Apollo, Derrick Shaffer was casually playing his Xbox, when the front door to his home opened. Derrick simply thought that a family member had come home, but instead found an armed man in a ski mask.
The armed robber bound Derrick with duct tape and zip ties while he robbed the house of money, jewels and several firearms. The robber then fled the house in a car belonging to Derrick's father.
Still tied up, Derrick managed to get to his Xbox headset and get the friend he was playing online with to call the police.
It's good to hear that playing video games had actually helped somebody for once. So if anyone ever complains that your wasting time playing Xbox, tell them it could help save your life in an emergency situation!

Here is the full news story for those that are interested.

Shikarku That title is misleading, I thought it meant the xbox helped the robber


How is that possible? Xbox taped him up? Carrying the gun? Or was the XBOX the getaway driver? Are you really that db

Thlack Misleading title but that's just awesomeness. Haha


at first i thought they meant like as in actually like the xbox team helped him but in a way its not misleading because it only said xbox and that is what he used to get help

and its good to see that xbox actually helped but why did the robber not take the best thing in the house

If he had Kinect he would of probably had that stolen anyways so that would be useless

Conversely : would the kid have been able to call 911 himself had he not been mesmerized by a video game?

You could change this news story to "Xbox distracts man from calling police himself"

lol I'm just grumpy cause its Monday.
