YouTube hoax goes wrong: delivery man shoots YouTuber

Tanner Cook, a 21-year-old YouTuber who specializes in hoaxes on his Classified Goons channel, found himself in a dangerous situation at Dulles Town Center in Sterling, Virginia. Cook was following a delivery driver, Alan Colie, while showing him his phone, which was playing a strange phrase on a loop. Despite Colie's repeated warnings, Cook continued, leading Colie to pull out a gun and shoot the YouTuber, seriously injuring him. Colie's defense maintains that he was acting in self-defense, feeling threatened by Cook's insistent approach. Recently, Colie was acquitted of aggravated malicious wounding but remains charged with another weapon-related charge
