Popular streamer Tfue targeted in swatting incident during livestream
During a live stream of Minecraft, popular streamer Turner “Tfue” Tenney was seemingly the victim of a swatting attempt. An unidentified individual can be heard in the background telling Tenney to “come out with his hands up.” Confused by the voice, Tenney temporarily left his setup and responded by saying, “I have my hands up, sir.”
After a brief absence from the stream, Tenney returned on-screen but did not address the situation. Instead, he sat silently for a few moments before continuing to play Minecraft.
Unfortunately, Tfue is not the first streamer to experience swatting. In the past, both Summit1G and former CS:GO pro N0thing have also been targeted during their streams. However, one of the most well-known incidents of swatting occurred in 2017 when a police officer mistakenly shot and killed Wichita resident Andrew Finch. The swatting call claimed that there was a hostage situation involving a murder, but it was later revealed to be a fraudulent call made by a gamer in a dispute over a Call of Duty bet.
