The story here:
One call of duty player threatened to call a fake swat team report on another. The other gave a false address. The swat was called.
Swat arrive, get in position. Man walks out the door, police kill him. https://t.co/cv33nQcogg

Lisa Finch talks about her son, Andrew, who was killed by police during what some are saying was a swatting call between two online gamers not involved with Andrew.
He didn’t play video games, she said. https://t.co/WyIt25oQDl

I'm working on a follow-up to what happened last night when a Wichita PD officer fatally shot a 28-yo man after receiving a false call of a homicide and hostage situation. When I asked if this was "SWATing," WPD said they're looking into everything. Bkgnd: https://t.co/0H1Jb9zXTe

Another awful thing about this death from swatting in Kansas is that there are now multiple reports that the man killed wasn't even part of the dispute that prompted the swatting. https://t.co/Uy5WPh33Jv
