The story's a little old now, but so-called "swatting", making a false report to the police to cause unsuspecting houses to be raided by the police, has resulted in its first death in Kansas.

Someone reported that a man had gotten into an argument with their parents before shooting and killing their father and holding the rest of the family hostage. As the police were outside preparing for the hostage situation, the man came to and opened the door and was shot and killed by an officer. They only found out after the fact that there was no hostage situation, argument or murder.

Take care, people. This has long since gotten out of hand.

Is this the same one that started from the CoD players or is this completely different? I know about that one and there's a link to it but it doesn't mention if it's the same.

zanderlex : I'm not entirely sure. I don't know if gaming was involved or not, but I think I recall reading something saying that this wasn't even the guy that was supposed to be swatted.

As far as I know, this is the only death that's happened involving this kind of stuff, so I would assume it's the same one. I could be wrong, though.

  after reading this article and watching the video it really doesn,t make any sense to me as to why anyone would call the swat team just so they can pull a terrible prank like this on someone as if it,s not bad enough when people phone 911 for none emergencies such as needing a taxi or calling them because their cable is out and they can,t be bothered to call their cable provider people who do things like this should be charged this to me is anything but a joke or prank especially when it results in an innocent person losing their life for no reason my thoughts and prayers go to the family and the victim may he rest in peace

m0ssb3rg935 :  
zanderlex :  

From what I have heard about it, this is about the CoD one. Usually if there is a "swatting", it'll be in the news, even if just briefly mentioned. But this one has been going on for a few days, and I haven't heard of any others ones in awhile.

CoD players tend to be the biggest babies and losers.This guy should be charged in the innocent man's death. I mean he is 26 years old,he should know how to separate game life and real life.

Oldschool777 : They are charging the guy who called the police. I'm not exactly sure what with, but I think I read something somewhere about a potential of 15 years? I could be wrong.

I heard he is being charged as well,but that is cold comfort to the family of the innocent man. I can see the only light here is he would not do well in prison and wind up being someone's b---h.

This is why swatting is a bad thing. Like, over a little wager (over call of duty, I heard)? That is just stupid.
