Swatting is a process by which someone allegedly procures the address of a streamer and calls the police to their location under false pretenses. Darren joins a long list of existing streamers who have been swatted on livestreams before. During the livestream, the YouTuber was surrounded by Cincinnati police officers who demanded that he switch off the livestream as the bewildered 19-year-old content creator looked on in disbelief. The clip immediately went viral, and many fans shared their reactions as the entire drama unfolded.

IShowSpeed was agitated and pleaded his innocence. He cried out: “Oh my god, bro. I swear I didn’t do anything. I didn’t do s**t.” In the ensuing commotion, another police officer approached the cameraman and forced him to back away. He was later told to switch off the camera as well. Interestingly enough, IShowSpeed got swatted less than 24 hours after fellow streamer and friend Adin Ross. Many fans have speculated that both the incidents may be related in some way. adin@adinrossI got swatted last night, very very scary. I’m okay. I love you guys.

He added that both the streamers were safe and mentioned that he would explain the situation in detail during a future stream.

Scott@AcidousOfficial@Dexerto Do the pathetic people who do this shot not realise just how dangerous this is? There’s been many cases where people were killed by Swat Teams after being swatted, not to mention if you get caught (you most likely will) you can face a significant amount of time in prison.@Dexerto Do the pathetic people who do this shot not realise just how dangerous this is?

Alan Hernandez @theregularalan@Dexerto Wild times@Dexerto Wild times Darren isn't the only streamer on Twitch who's been swatted recently. Other popular streamers such as xQc, ImperialHal, and NICKMERCS have all been in similar situations in the past. The repercussions of getting caught making a hoax call to the police are very severe. However, this does not seem to deter swatters in the slightest.
