News > Gamer Shot While Saving Woman
May 29, 2007
Amidst all the stories of school shootings, "rampages," and generally how evil games and gamer are, you rarely hear about the good things gamers do, or the peaceful lives most lead...until one gets shot.
Adam Mapleson is a gamer. Adam Mapleson is a hero. The 24-year old U.K. man was shot yesterday as he came to the rescue of a woman who was being robbed in the subway. Currently, he is in serous but stable condition.
According to Adam's Myspace page, he is an avid gamer, as well as listening to the heaviest of metal. Here's a snippet from his "interests" section:
Computer Games (Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike Source, Neverwinter Nights, FEAR, Vampire Bloodlines, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, GTA: San Andreas, Prince Of Persia, Pro Evo Soccer 6, Madden 2007, UT2004, Dawn of War, Mark of Chaos)
So much for the "evils" of the modern day.
GameWad wishes you a speedy recovery, Adam, and would love to rock some CS: Source with you someday.
