'Swatting' comes to its terrible, predictable culmination as man reportedly dies
For years, "swatting" has been a vicious prank played on video game streamers, and it was only a matter of time before someone died as a result.
On Thursday night, a Wichita police officer shot a man, Andrew Finch, in his home. Police now believe that the department deployed the team based on a fake tip made by a Twitch streamer.
According to the Wichita Eagle, Police Chief Troy Livingston said a call came in that a family argument had broken out, the father had been shot, and the shooter was holding the rest of the family hostage.
