“A Counter-Strike player found himself having to deal with more than just digital bomb recently, thanks to a prankster that called the police on his house—a practice commonly known as ‘swatting.’ The player in question is Jordan Gilbert of n0thingtv. While the clip above shows the most relevant bit, you can see the lead-up and aftermath of the raid in the actual Twitch stream around the 1:44:00 mark. Don’t worry, nothing bad happened to Gilbert—he returns to his seat around the 1:56:00 mark on the Twitch stream. ‘It’s all good,’ he reassured his viewers. ‘Got a good understanding with the police station now.'”
