Teen Hires Hitman to Kill Parents over Playstation

A 16 year old boy decided to hire a hitman to kill both his parents for revenge over having been grounded and having his playstation taken away due to his bad grades at school.
The youth, Cory Rider, reacted to his punishment by planning the murder of both his mother Shannen and step father Joey Troiano. He decided to hire a professional killer and pay him to shoot them both. Luckily his mother became aware of the plot and went to the police. A meeting was set up by a local officer who posed as a hitman and met the boy at a nearby hotel. During the meeting in the hotel room the young boy told the undercover officer that he would be paid with his stepfather's new pickup truck in return for committing the deed. In addition he encouraged the officer by telling him that "Two bullets is all it takes."
Cory Rider has not admitted that he made that remark. His mother, who has become scared of her son and his behavior, is expected to testify as a witness against him.
