L.A. Man Pleads Guilty in Deadly ‘Swatting’ Prank
A California man pleaded guilty on Tuesday to making a hoax 911 call last December that led police to fatally shoot a Kansas man. Tyler R. Barriss, 26, pleaded guilty to 51 charges in an agreement with federal prosecutors on Tuesday, including federal charges initially filed in California and the District of Columbia related to other fake calls and threats. The man at the address, 28-year-old Andrew Finch, was fatally shot by cops when he opened the door.
