Gamers sued for swatten rival

Two players, an American and a Briton, were indicted because they sent a US SWAT team to the home of a rival.

At the request of the Americans, the British in 2015 had called an American terror service and introduced himself as Tyran Dobbs, the name of his rival. He said he had a loaded rifle, explosives and three hostages. He demanded ransom within fifteen minutes, otherwise the hostages would be killed.

Agents went straight to the house of the unsuspecting and sleeping Dobbs and shot with rubber bullets in his face and on his chest. Then it turned out that he had no weapons or hostages, and that he had not called. In the examination, the two perpetrators were detected. They can now get up to twenty years in prison for the false alarm, five years for conspiracy and two years for identity theft.
