Man arrested in 'Call of Duty' 'swatting' hoax that led to fatal police shooting
<50%

A 25-year-old California man was arrested in connection to an online quarrel between two “Call of Duty” gamers that prompted a hoax call and led to a man being killed by police in Kansas.

Los Angeles police on Friday arrested Tyler Barriss, who law enforcement claimed is the “prankster” who called 911 and made up a story about a kidnapping in Wichita, ABC 7 reported.

Barriss reportedly gave police the address he believed the other gamer lived.

In the audio of the 911 call, the caller claimed his father had been shot in the head and that he was holding his mother and a sibling at gunpoint. The caller added that he poured gasoline inside the home and "might just set it on fire."

What do you think they should charge him with ?

Likely he'll only face something along the lines of "Improper use of a telephone" or some other BS charge and only get probation.

WHEN IDIOTS COLLIDE!

There should be two people going to jail.

But for how long?

The cop should be sentenced at least 15 years with no chance of parole.

The tard who called in the hoax should serve a 20 year sentence with no chance for parole.

Let both of them think about how stupid they are for a good, long time.

IIRC in some states you can be charged with murder if anyone dies as a result of a felony you commit, including if the police kill someome.

Just read it on the BBC....

Gotta love how the Cops shift all responsibility to the prankster.

If you are in the USA and want to kill yourself, just call the cops, much much easier than finding rope to hang yourself or put up w the overdose...
