Screengrab of one of Tanner Cook’s videos.
A 21-year-old YouTuber in the United States, famous for his funny jokes, got the shock of his life when a victim of one of his pranks shot him in the stomach. This happened when he shot a prank video for his channel at the Dulles Town Center mall in Virginia.
The protector reported that Tanner Cook, a prankster on the Classified Goons YouTube channel, with his nearly 40,000 subscribers, posts videos of him making fun of random people. This is evident from detectives and an interview Cook gave to the nearby TV station WUSA, he was taken in by a friend as events took a near fatal turn.
According to court records and a judge in Loudoun County General District Court, the shooter was a 31-year-old man named Alan Colie.
The news outlet added that attacker Colie was taken into custody on Sunday and charged with grievous intentional wounding, using a gun to commit a crime and firing a gun into a building.
Sheriff Mike Chapman stated that the altercation between the two boys that started in the food court was the cause of the shooting. Many in the mall were terrified of the gunfire.
YouTuber Cook was taken to hospital and treated for his wounds.
“I was playing a simple prank, and this guy didn’t take it very well,” Cook told WUSA from his hospital bed.
The protector reported that Cook’s page contains clips of him pretending to throw up on ride-sharing service drivers, making a fast-food restaurant employee nervous by going behind the establishment’s counter, and harassing people in stores.
