YouTuber won a stupid prize
YouTuber making prank video shot at Dulles Town Center
The victim critically injured inside Dulles Town Center mall said he was recording a prank video for his YouTube page when he was shot.
Tanner Cook, 21, remained in the intensive care unit the next day with his mother by his side after one bullet pierced through his stomach and liver.
Officials arrested and charged Colie on Sunday with aggravated malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and discharging a firearm within a building.
Sheriff Mike Chapman said the shooting was a result of a fight that broke out in the food court between both men. The gunfire caused panic among mallgoers.
“I was playing a prank and a simple practical joke, and this guy didn’t take it very well,” said Tanner Cook.
Despite what led up to the gunfire, Tanner Cook’s father said the shooting was shocking and unnecessary.
“They were making a video at the mall and trying to have fun with people and this guy wasn’t having fun,” added Jeramy Cook. “There was a phone that was around him and they were interviewing or talking to him, and he didn’t like it and he pulled out his gun and shot my son.”
Despite his injuries, Tanner Cook said it will not stop him from creating videos.
So he pulled a prank on the wrong guy and got a stomach and liver full of bullet for it.
I’m not saying it was a good shoot, it wasn’t, but fucking around with strangers in a public place is a pretty fucking stupid thing to do.
The fact that he’s gonna go back at it is proof positive that he’s a moron.
I guess YouTube fame and money is more important than not getting shot.
Idiot.
