Casey Viner: Teenage US gamer jailed over deadly 911 hoax bbc.com

A US teenager has been jailed for 15 months for involvement in a prank call leading to an innocent man's death.

Casey Viner, 19, from Ohio, conspired with fellow gamer Tyler Barriss to make a so-called "swatting" call to police.

In the 911 call, Barriss claimed he was holding his family hostage but when police visited the address provided, they shot father-of-two Andrew Finch.

The two men admitted to making the call after a row with another gamer, Shane Gaskill, while playing Call of Duty.
