A 28-year-old Kansas man was shot and killed by police in a swatting attack

Andrew Finch, a 28-year-old man from Wichita, Kansas, was killed last week in a swatting attack by police who were responding to a call reporting a hostage situation at the mans house. One of the parties allegedly using the Twitter handle SWauTistic threatened to swat another user who handles the account 7aLeNT. Then tweeted an address that was not his own. When it became apparent that a man had been killed as a result of the swatting, Swautistic tweeted that he didn’t get anyone killed because he didnt pull the trigger.”]
