This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 87%. (I'm a bot)

Online gamers have said in multiple Twitter posts that the shooting of a man Thursday night by Wichita police was the result of a "Swatting" hoax involving two gamers.

On Twitter, more than a dozen people who identified themselves as being in the gaming community told The Eagle that a feud between two Call of Duty players sparked one to initiate a "Swatting" call.

Dexerto, a online news service focused on gaming and the Call of Duty game, reported the argument began over a $1 or $2 wager over the game.
