Hoaxer with a history of fake bomb threats SWATs and murders a random
bystander over a $1.50 Call of Duty bet

        Last night, Andrew Finch, a 28 year old man in Wichita, was
        shot dead by police after they received a false call about a
        home invasion, a call that appears to have originated with
        Tyler Raj Barriss, a 25-year-old Los Angeles man whose gamer
        handle was "SWAuTistic," and who was later arrested by LAPD on
        a fugitive warrant stemming from bomb threats he phoned in to
        ABC7, an LA police station. Barriss has a long history of
        swatting and threats to swat.  The swatting seems to have been
        the result of a disagreement among two Call of Duty teammates
        after a loss in an online match that had a $1.50 wager riding
        on it.
