Activision announced a   new   first - person   shooter based on AMC's hit show "The Walking Dead" to be released sometime next year. Telltale Games has done a fantastic job spinning off the show and comic book's universe into an episodic adventure game, so it only seems natural that someone would try their hand at the action-packed moments of the series. The game is based more on the show than the comic, and takes place before the events of the first season, focusing in on brothers Darryl and Merle Dixon.

Prosecutors say the fatal shooting of an East Baltimore man in February was justifiable self-defense, but they're not letting the shooters off the hook completely. Court records describe Preston Feaster and Jason Ingram barricading themselves inside a home as a group of men armed with handguns shot into the house. Fearing for their lives in a neighborhood where calling the authorities is a last resort for some residents, they shot back from an upstairs window, killing 26-year-old Brandon Washington and injuring Darries Sommerville, who was 17 at the time, police say.
