2017 Wichita swatting
The 2017 Wichita swatting occurred on December 28, 2017, in Wichita, Kansas, United States. The incident began as an online dispute between Casey Viner and Shane Gaskill, regarding the video game Call of Duty: WWII. During the dispute, Viner threatened to have Gaskill swatted, and Gaskill responded by giving him a false address for his residence, one that was occupied by an uninvolved person, Andrew Finch. Viner then asked Tyler Barriss to make the required fraudulent call to initiate the swatting. Wichita Police responded to the address, and as Finch was exiting the house, police officer Justin Rapp fatally shot him.


2017 Wichita swatting
Barriss pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter and many other charges from unrelated incidents he was wanted for. In March 2019, he was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison. Viner was sentenced to 2 years' community service and 15 months' imprisonment for his involvement, while Gaskill was sentenced to 2 years' probation. Officer Rapp was not charged for Finch's death.


2017 Wichita swatting, Background, Tyler Barriss
At the time of the incident, Tyler Raj Barriss was a 25-year-old homeless man living in Los Angeles, California. Known online as "SWAuTistic", he had a criminal record including domestic violence, and had served 16 months in Los Angeles County Jail for making false bomb threats against KABC-TV, an elementary school in Los Angeles, and a middle school in Granada Hills. He was wanted by police in Panama City, Florida, for calling approximately 30 other bomb threats, including one to a high school, and on fraud and mischief charges in Canada for harassing a woman in Calgary.


2017 Wichita swatting, Background, Events of December 28
Reports surfaced that the deadly series of events reportedly began with an online argument over a $1.50 wager in an online match of Call of Duty: WWII on UMG Gaming, which operates online tournaments, including one involving said game. Two men, Casey Viner (known by pseudonym Baperizer) and Shane Gaskill (known by pseudonym Miruhcle), fought over friendly fire in the Call of Duty: WWII match, causing them to lose both the match and $1.50 in wagers. The two gamers took to Twitter in an argument about the loss.


2017 Wichita swatting, Background, Events of December 28
Viner threatened to swat Gaskill over the loss. Gaskill intentionally gave Viner the wrong address: a place in Wichita where he previously resided with his family, and where he said he would "be waiting". Gaskill's family had been evicted in 2016. Viner then contacted Barriss and provided him with the address given to swat Gaskill. Finch was not a known gamer and had nothing to do with the Call of Duty match.


2017 Wichita swatting, Background, Events of December 28
Using voice over IP through the free Wi-Fi provided by a South Los Angeles library, Barriss called the Wichita police department. Because the call was transferred from Wichita City Hall to 911, the dispatcher believed the call was coming from the Wichita area. Barriss, identifying himself as "Brian", claimed that he was at the residence at 1033 West McCormick Street, had fatally shot his father, and was holding family members at gunpoint. He asked if police were coming to the house, saying he had already poured gasoline all over the house and was threatening to set it on fire.


2017 Wichita swatting, Shooting
Wichita Police Department officers, who were not SWAT team members, untrained for tactical situations or hostage rescues, responded to Barriss' call and surrounded Finch's residence. Andrew Finch is reported by his mother Lisa Finch, who was at the scene, to have seen the police lights outside and opened the front door to see what was happening. Mrs. Finch reports that her 28-year-old son "screamed and then they shot him." Moments after Finch stepped onto his front porch, police ordered him to put his hands up. According to officer testimony, he began to do so and then stopped. A Wichita police officer standing on the other side of the street fired a single round striking Finch and piercing his heart and right lung. Finch was transported to St. Francis Hospital, where he was pronounced dead 17 minutes after he was shot.


2017 Wichita swatting, Shooting
Finch's mother reports the police then ordered her and other family members to exit the residence. The family was handcuffed and taken to the police station for questioning. Initial reports from Deputy Wichita Police Chief Troy Livingston stated that "A male came to the front door. As he came to the front door, one of our officers discharged his weapon." Livingston did not initially state if Finch was armed, or what caused the officer to fire his weapon. In a later statement on December 30, the Wichita Police Department stated the shooting was caused by Finch "reaching into his waistband." The officer involved was eventually identified as Justin Rapp, a seven-year veteran of the force.


2017 Wichita swatting, Shooting
In court, Rapp testified in May 2018 that he was given no information when he arrived at the scene, including when Finch was given his first verbal command, when the 911 call ended, or whether officers at the scene were aware the caller was still on the phone with 911. Sedgwick County Department of Emergency Communications has also denied an open-records request pertaining to the 911 call, stating the police department had asked that no more records be released.


2017 Wichita swatting, Aftermath
Many Wichita residents and other U.S.-based commentators have expressed concern over the death of Finch. Wichita residents used the opportunity of a city council meeting on January 9 to voice concerns on the subject, including questioning the release of only seven seconds of the police body cam footage, and arguing the city should assume full responsibility to avoid a lengthy struggle by the Finch family for justice. The council did not comment directly, but indicated a willingness to consider training procedures at a later time.


2017 Wichita swatting, Aftermath
Nearly a week after the shooting, Andrew Finch's mother Lisa Finch wrote to the Wichita mayor and police chief stating that she did not know where her son's body was being kept and that she wanted to give him a "proper funeral service and burial." "Please let me see my son's lifeless body," she wrote in a letter dated January 3.


2017 Wichita swatting, Aftermath
In the same letter, Mrs. Finch asked why the police officer who killed her son had not, at that time, been identified, why the family was handcuffed, and when police will return their belongings, including two cell phones and a computer, seized from the house. The family attorney, Andrew M. Stroth, has also called for the city, police department, and officer involved in the shooting to be held liable "for the unjustified shooting of Andrew Finch."


2017 Wichita swatting, Aftermath
Finch's 18-year-old niece Adelina died by suicide on 11 January 2019. Adelina was raised by Lisa and Andrew Finch after her own mother had died; she was 17 at the time of the shooting and witnessed her uncle's death. Lisa Finch blames Adelina's death on the events of December 28.

On November 13 he pleaded guilty to 51 federal charges, for which U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister recommended a sentence of 20 years' incarceration.
