Call of Duty gaming community points to ‘swatting’ in deadly Wichita police shooting

He's saying that the police do not know the man is unarmed. Put yourself in the officer's shoes.

You are told: ""There is only one living adult male in this house. He has murdered the only other adult male and is going to murder everyone else." You arrive at the house and an adult male opens the door."

It is a terrible situation, but under those exact circumstances, I don't think I would risk my life waiting to see if the person that called in was lying and the adult male--the only one I expect to be there who has allegedly already shot someone--that answers the door is in fact unarmed.

God bless you guys if you all have such nerves of steel. I don't.
