A Kansas man shot to death by police earlier this week was the victim of a misdirected online gaming;prank; known as swatting, authorities said Friday. The victim, Andrew Finch, was gunned down Thursday night after cops received a 911 call from a man who claimed he had shot his father and was holding his mother and younger brother hostage. I shot him in the head and he's not breathing anymore; the caller said, according to a recording released by WPD. But investigators say the disturbing tale was made up by a;prankster; to get a SWAT team to descend on an address. As it turned out, the caller gave cops Finch's address, believing it belonged to a person he had gotten into a heated argument with over a $1 or $2 ;Call of Duty; wager.
