Tyler Barriss's long-awaited trial ended a few days ago in the United States with a Los Angeles court sentencing him to 20 years in prison.
Ο Barriss had the stupid habit of calling the authorities for alleged emergencies when he had quarrels with rival gamers and one of those calls led to the death of a citizen in Kansas.
The 26-year-old admitted that he had called the police in Wichita (Kansas) on December 27, 2017 to report that Andrew Finch had killed one and was holding two more hostages at his home. Officers rushed to the address given to them by Barriss and shot Finch (and other animals…) because they thought he was looking for his weapon. It turned out, of course, that the man just panicked and did not even have a gun in his house.
Why did all this happen? For a $ 1.5 (yes, one and a half dollar) bet on an online battle at Call of Duty: WWIIΣυγκεκρι This particular incident generally drew attention to the phenomenon of "swatting", ie the false report to send the police to someone's house.
