---

Twitch didn't kill anybody. A trigger happy cop did
---

When officers got inside the house, they didnt find anyone with gunshot wounds, Livingston said.

Did the police just shoot the victim outside?
---

Was this a Swatting? If so which Twitch member was targeted?

The officer, a 7-year veteran of the police department, will be placed on paid administrative leave, per department policy.

Man, cops have it made. Murder someone, and it gets swept under the rug while you get a paid vacation.

whomever made the call contributed to the death of an innocent. the cop finished the job.

Pretty sure swatting wasn't invented by twitch community. Even then its not Twitch doing it. People do it to to non-twitch people. 4chan does it. Youtube does it. Swatting isn't a Twitch only thing.

Nice clickbait topic title. Misleading as hell.

Funny thing is he would have probably been safer hiding inside in the attic or just chilling in his room ignoring the ruckus at the door.

A little more clarity to the subject.

https://www.rawstory.com/2017/12/innocent-man-instantly-shot-by-police-after-gamer-feud-over-2-results-in-swatting-prank-at-kansas-home/

A 28-year-old Kansas man was shot and killed by police responding to a possible homicide and hostage report but gamers say the call was a swatting prank.

More than a dozen gamers said the prank call was the result of a feud between two Call of Duty players Thursday night, but police have not yet confirmed the connection, reported The Wichita Eagle.

It was a shooting call (at 6:15 p.m.) involving hostages, said Deputy Chief Troy Livingston, of Wichita police. The original call, we were told someone had an argument with their mother and dad was accidentally shot, and now that person was holding mother, brother and sister hostage. We learned through that call that a father was deceased, and had been shot in the head. That was the information we were working off of.

Police arrived at the house prepared for a potentially violent hostage situation, and an officer shot Andrew Finch as he came to the front door.

Livingston did not say whether Finch was carrying a weapon when he came to the door or explain why the seven-year veteran fired the gun.

Police dont believe the slain man fired at officers, but the incident remains under investigation.

Finch was pronounced dead at an area hospital, and the officer who shot him was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.

No one else had been injured at the house.

Two gamers were arguing online about a $1 or $2 wager when one threatened to call a SWAT team to his house, and the targeted gamer provided a fake address where police went to investigate.

I DIDNT GET ANYONE KILLED BECAUSE I DIDNT DISCHARGE A WEAPON AND BEING A SWAT MEMBER ISNT MY PROFESSION, a gamer identified as the prankster tweeted, before Twitter shut down his account.

The target of the prank also tweeted about the incident, saying, Someone tried to swat me and got an innocent man killed.

Family members said Finch did not play video games.

cop and swatter both need death penalty

Swatting has been going on since the 1990s phone party chats.

That's like saying "I didn't get anyone killed because I'm not the hit man I hired."

It's probably an example of a very poorly trained SWAT team

This has nothing to do with twitch lmao

They should take the assholes that made the call and let them rot in jail or worse though, dude had a wife and 2 kids... and they ruined their life over a "joke"...
