LA man charged with involuntary manslaughter over 'CoD' swatting
Barriss was initially arrested in December 2017 in Los Angeles after he ‘swatted’ a wrong address in Kansas, leading to the death of an innocent 28 year old man. Police said he called in a fake incident to their offices after a dispute over a $1.50 Call of Duty wager. Barriss is also responsible for other ‘swatting’ calls in Los Angeles, Canada, and calling in fake threats to CWL Dallas. Alongside the charges he faces for what happened in Kansas, Calgary Police say Barriss called in a fake threat against a Twitch streamer. Calagry Police are charging him with mischief and fraud charges, Rolling Stone reports.
Police still are investigating the incident as to why a 7+ year police veteran open fired in this situation, which led to the death of an innocent man. The officer in question is on paid administrative leave pending the completion of the investigation.
Barriss could face a hefty fine and a maximum of 11 years in prison for involuntary manslaughter charge according to Kansas laws, since this is a Level 5 felony charge. His bond is set at $500,000 for the involuntary manslaughter charge.

What a looser, you would have to be so bored of your life to waste your time and do this. Good hope he has fun in prison lol. This sends a message to other people that are stupid enough to try this them self's, now they see about this, maybe they think twice about swatting someone.

This is ridiculous. Why can't people just play and watch video games for the enjoyment.

Good to see this guy go down, following the story since it first was released i'm glad to see justice be served. Swatting is a stupid and imbecilic thing to do, now he will get whats coming to him

Good. This should be the norm. If the person isn't killed, it should be attempted murder.

Two_FacedBB-8 Why do they always find the worst pictures to post of the people??
That's what you are thinking about? I was thinking, this guy looks like a F***king creep/weirdo. Guy needs to spend the rest of his life in jail, he's an embarrassment to humans. The officer that shot the guy needs to lose his position and not be allowed to carry a firearm. Also probably spend a long time in jail.
I agree with you, opened fire for what reason? Should definitely lose his badge and firearms license and to never carry again
