Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf, the newly-crowned 16 year-old Fortnite World Cup solo champion, was playing the game in a stream last night when his home was “swatted”

Bugha quickly leaves, and is gone for around 10 minutes. Here’s the video of when he returns, saying “They come in with guns, bro. They literally pulled up, holy shit.”
Swattings are such a menace because, aside from the time and resources being wasted, they can also be incredibly dangerous. In 2017, a dispute over a Call of Duty game led to a swatting in which a man was killed by police
Thankfully, this particular situation was quickly defused because one of the officers attending the incident lives in Bugha’s neighbourhood and recognised the teen.
