Swatting Threats Ring Ohio School and Online Group Ties
The Ohio case involves Al Elyria High School threats by phone in May 2017 tied to a 16 year old in Florida who admitted leading an online hacking group. Police say a 2019 Parma call originated from Canada amid online gaming feuds. Swatting incidents linked to Tyler Barriss led to a 20 to 25 year prison term for a hostage hoax that ended in a fatal shooting of Andrew Finch during a Call of Duty dispute.
