Call of Duty: WWII swatting incident

On December 28, 2017, Ohio resident Casey "Baperizer" Viner, angered over friendly fire that ruined an online match in an online match of Call of Duty: WWII that cost $1.50 in betting, threatened to swat his teammate, Wichita resident Shane "Miruhcle" Gaskill. Gaskill intentionally gave Viner the wrong address: a place in Wichita where he previously resided with his family and and challenged Viner to swat him. Viner then contacted Tyler "SWAuTistic" Barriss and provided him with the address given to swat Gaskill.

Using voice over IP through the free Wi-Fi provided by a South Los Angeles library, Barriss, identifying himself as "Brian" called the Wichita police department. Witchia polices, who were not SWAT team members, untrained for tactical situations or hostage rescues responded to Barriss' call and surrounded Andrew Finch's residence. Finch himself wasn't a known gamer and had nothing to do with the Call of Duty match, and as Finch was exiting the house, police officer Justin Rapp fatally shot him. Finch was later transported to a hospital and was pronounced dead 17 minutes after he was shot.

Aftermath
Barriss, who had numerous criminal records including domestic violence, false bomb threats prior pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter and many other charges from unrelated incidents he was wanted for. In March 2019, he was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison. Viner and Gaskill were sentenced to 2 years' community service and 15 months' imprisonment for his involvement and 2 years' probation, respectively. Officer Rapp was not charged for Finch's death.

One year later
To make the incident even worse, on January 11, 2019, Finch's 18-years old niece Adelina, who was raised by Lisa and Andrew Finch after her own mother had died in 2002 committed suicide, one year after witnessing her uncle's death. Adelina's boyfriend, 20-years old Jeremy "J.C." Arnold also committed suicide as well after discovering her body in the apartment they shared.
