On Saturday, UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley had some lunch and went house to play video video games and start a dwell stream. An hour or so in, police arrived at O’Malley’s house with weapons drawn.
It seems O’Malley was ‘swatted’ by a fellow gamer. Somebody referred to as the authorities and falsely reported a horrific crime and gave the police O’Malley’s tackle.
“About an hour and a half in I noticed a f**king cop fly down my street. I really feel like immediately I sort of knew as a result of I’ve heard about like the massive, huge streamers getting swatted,” O’Malley defined on his YouTube channel. “Folks discover out the place they’re at and referred to as the cops and say one thing occurred that clearly did not occur and so they’re f**king getting swatted.
“I peak out my head out the window to see the cops. Possibly it is one thing else. However then they’re on the intercom and I see a bunch of cops and so they’re like, ‘stroll out along with your fingers up.’ So I f**king stroll out, fingers up. I used to be like, I am simply going pay attention. I may get shot. You understand what I imply? Like, sh*t. I used to be like, okay, if I simply take heed to them I will be alright, however you by no means know. Somebody sneezes and pulls the set off. I’ve received f**king shotguns pointed at me, ARs from like 4 completely different cops pointed at me.”
O’Malley had in actual fact been swatted. Somebody referred to as the police and advised them that O’Malley had murdered his mother and father and was armed inside the house.
“They stated I killed my mother and father, or one thing like that. They thought there was an energetic shooter inside,” O’Malley stated. “Somebody referred to as the cops and advised them there was an energetic shooter inside and two useless individuals in the home.”
“I want we may discover that little weasel that referred to as. They can not discover him. They do not have an tackle. It was loopy.”
