A 19 year old was arrested recently after making threats to “shoot up his school” over Xbox Live.
Apparently, during a Call of Duty 4 game, Allieu Shaw threatened to shoot up his school and detailed how he was going to do it.
Understandably this worried another player in the game, who proceeded to report Shaw to the local police department. Authorities arrested Shaw the following day at his school.
Although Shaw has insisted he was joking about the threat, and a search of his house resulted in no weapons found, he has been suspended by Frostburg State University and faces a maximum of one year in jail and a five thousand dollar fine if convicted…
Firstly, good on the guy who reported him in the first place.. You cant take chances these days and Id hate to have that on my conscience had the kid carried out his threat. Secondly, what kind of socially inept asshole makes threats like that? The racism, xenophobia, and mother jokes on Live are almost tolerable.. mass shooting threats just don’t fly at all..
This is exactly Lives problem right now.. idiots and com’s ruin your experience. Thank god for the preferred player system because without it online play would be a nightmare.
