The The
2017 Wichita swatting occurred on December 28, 2017, in
Wichita, Kansas, United States. The incident began as an online dispute between Casey Viner and Shane Gaskill, regarding the
video game Call of Duty: WWII. During the dispute, Viner threatened to have Gaskill
swatted, and Gaskill responded by giving him a false address for his residence, one that was occupied by an uninvolved person, Andrew Finch. Viner then asked Tyler Barriss to make the required fraudulent call to initiate the swatting.
Wichita Police responded to the address, and as Finch was exiting his house, police officer Justin Rapp fatally shot him.
