Irving Pulling was also by all accounts a bright but troubled child. He was part of gifted student program where they did play Dungeons and Dragons.

However it seems that he was depressed by his inability to find a campaign manager for his election bid to the school council, that he admired Adolf Hitler, and that according to his mother, Patricia Pulling, he would run around their back yard barking.

On June 9th Irving shot and killed himself with his mothers handgun a few hours after he happened to have played a game of Dungeons and Dragons. His mother became convinced that the game had something to do with the suicide and ended up concluding that her son had been cursed during the game, forcing him to kill people, and that to prevent this from happening he killed himself.
