Twitch streamer Tfue is best known for playing battle royale games like Call of Duty: Warzone and Fortnite. However, Tfue has dabbled with other games as well, recently playing Minecraft on his Twitch stream. One of Tfue's recent Minecraft Twitch streams was interrupted when police apparently showed up at his house, in what appears to be yet another swatting incident.

While Tfue was playing Minecraft on Twitch, a voice can be heard coming from another room. The police officer told Tfue to come out with his hands up, and Tfue can be heard complying with the officer's demands. Tfue repeatedly tells the officer that he has his hands up, and then has a conversation off-screen. After a short time, Tfue returns to the broadcast, apparently unharmed.

Dexerto reports that later in Tfue's Twitch stream, a viewer donated with the message "get swatted." This person is believed to be the individual that "swatted" Tfue. Tfue did not appear to be all that rattled by the situation, saying, "Nice, man. You got me. Got me real good."

Swatting is a serious "prank" that has had fatal consequences on more than one occasion. For the uninitiated, swatting is when a person falsely accuses someone, usually a Twitch streamer, of some crime that would warrant SWAT team intervention, with the hope of capturing the drama on-stream. Many famous Twitch streamers have been swatted at one point or another, with professional gamers targeted as well. Fortnite pro Kyle "Bugha" Giersdorf has been the victim of swatting in the past, as was 14 year old Fortnite player Cody “Clix” Conrad in a separate incident.

However, not all swatting incidents have been aimed at Twitch streamers or professional gamers. One of the most infamous swatting cases happened in Wichita, Kansas. In 2017, a dispute between Casey Viner and Shane Gaskill led to the death of 28 year old Andrew Finch. Gaskill had given Viner and his friend Tyler Barriss a fake address, which Barriss then used to try to swat Gaskill. Instead the police were sent to Finch's home, where they ended up killing the father of two.

The Wichita swatting case gained nation-wide attention, making some people aware of swatting for the first time. Ultimately, Barris was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his involvement in the swatting incident, having been found guilty of 51 federal charges. But even though swatting clearly has serious consequences for everyone involved, it doesn't seem to have deterred people from doing it still.
