In the USA, there was a fatality related to Pokémon GO on Friday night. A 21-year-old was playing Pokémon GO in a park at night with a friend. She witnessed an armed robbery and was shot while trying to flee.
This is what the police say: A spokesperson for the Albuquerque police says that 21-year-old Cayla Campos was playing Pokémon GO with her friend in a park. It was 11:50 PM at night.
The two were sitting in their car, watching as two people robbed someone in another car at gunpoint. Cayla turned her car around to flee the area when several shots were fired at her vehicle.
One of the bullets hit the 21-year-old. She crashed her car into a house across from the park. Cayla died in the hospital. It was reported on Saturday morning that a bullet had struck her in the neck. (via abqjournal)
21-Year-Old Wanted to Become a Surgeon
The family of the woman says she had a bright future ahead of her. Cayla had taken a gap year but planned to study surgery at the University of New Mexico soon.
Neighbors say they woke up at 11:50 PM because they heard several shots and then seconds later the crash. At first, they thought it was thunder, but then they heard the sirens from the police and emergency vehicles.
That’s Why I’m Armed When I Play Pokémon GO
How do Pokémon GO players react? In Albuquerque, as in many places, there are groups of trainers who communicate on Facebook (via facebook). Here, people are shocked:
- They say: “I often go to this park.”
- Trainers say it’s so sad that it makes you sick.
- One even says that’s why he is always armed when he goes out to play Pokémon GO.
This is the background: Pokémon GO is played in the “real world.” This repeatedly leads to confrontations with this real world.
In the USA, it seems to be a big problem to play Pokémon GO in parks at night. Fortunately, we do not know such dangers in our country in these dimensions.
The city of “Albuquerque” is located in New Mexico. It is known here due to the series Breaking Bad. In 2018, there were 66 murders in the city – with a population of 560,218. (via abqournal)
