Joshua Peters swatted while streaming

JUN 2015

Joshua Peters, streaming to a large audience from St Cloud, Minnesota, was wearing noise-cancelling headphones when armed officers entered his home in February 2015. A caller had told police someone had shot a roommate and was pointing a gun at them. Peters said officers pointed weapons at his younger brother, who answered the door. He returned to the stream and made an emotional appeal to whoever had made the call.
