The caller added that he poured gasoline inside the home and &#8220;might just set it on fire.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The address he gave was that of 28-year-old Andrew Finch. When police arrived, Finch let them in his home, but for some reason during the conversation with police, Finch made a motion towards his waistband causing officers to feel threatened and Finch was dead from a single fired round. It turns out that Finch was unarmed and his mother denies that he was even a gamer.<\/p>\n<p>Swatting is designed to make the responding officers hyper-alert when they arrive at the intended-victims&#8217; homes.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The FBI estimates that roughly 400 cases of swatting occur annually, with some using caller ID spoofing to disguise their number.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>People generally suck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fox News reports that Tyler Barriss of Los Angeles has been arrested and believed to be &hellip; <a title=\"Tyler Barriss arrested for deadly &#8220;Call of Duty&#8221; SWATing prank\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=76831\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Tyler Barriss arrested for deadly &#8220;Call of Duty&#8221; SWATing prank<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":76832,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[185],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76831","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76831","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=76831"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76831\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/76832"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=76831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=76831"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=76831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
