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.

Glad he got charged and is facing time. Crazy that it was not his first call in. Hopefully this puts in perspective how dangerous calling in fake threats can lead to. Stupid and he isnt even a kid!

I wish the two morons that argued over twitter gets some type of fine as well. Plus BB-8, have you seen other pictures of him? I consider this flattering...

Good. Hope this piece of shit enjoys life in prison. Also hopes this serves as a reminder to everyone that swatting is NOT okay. It is not a joke.

BB-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.

And the guy that actually ended the life of someone, is sitting on the couch reading this article.
