BLOOMINGTON IN–Hours after receiving reports of violent screaming, police found Freshman Brian Peterson, killed in his sleep by his roommate, John Riley.
\n\u201cI just couldn\u2019t take it anymore, you know?\u201d Riley told reporters after leaving police custody. Upon further questioning, Riley told us the full story.
\n\u201cIt started with his food. Brian had a habit of freezing everything he ate. It wasn\u2019t just stuff that you would want cold. It was starbursts, pizza, even leftover food from Forest! He\u2019d freeze it and then just forget about it! What kind of monster doesn’t clean out their fridge?\u201d<\/p>\n

This was only the start of the problem. Riley described Peterson’s habit of leaving socks out. \u201cI\u2019d find them everywhere! On my bed, in my shoes, once I even found a pair of HIS socks in MY underwear drawer!\u201d<\/p>\n

And then, there was the final straw. \u201cBrian would talk in his sleep, but it wasn\u2019t quiet whispers. He\u2019d be YELLING, screaming about flaming spiders, or begging for forgiveness from someone named Maria. I couldn\u2019t sleep most nights! I just realized that the world would be better off without this weirdo. So like any reasonable person, I grabbed one of my textbooks and bashed his skull until he stopped screaming.
\nI\u2019ll tell you, that was the best sleep I\u2019ve had in months. Totally worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n

One officer gave us this statement. \u201cAfter questioning Mr. Riley, it seemed obvious to us that this was just going to happen. The second they were forced into the same room, this was a foregone conclusion. Honestly the fact that they lasted through midterms is astonishing.\u201d
\nGiven the understandable circumstances, IU has given Riley a single in Ashton and sent a letter to Peterson’s family, explaining their son’s death was a tragic result of his dangerous and anti-social behavior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
