In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, a family had more fun playing than the law allows. The loud voice of the mother triggered a large police response.
What happened? Last week, a dramatic emergency call came into the police in Volusia County, Florida. Neighbors were worried about the life of their neighbors because screams and words indicating a violent act could be heard from their house. Among other things, it was reported that the following could be heard:
“No, please don’t kill me! Please let me get up!” Additionally, a man was reportedly heard complaining loudly, “Why did you take my gun?”
Police arrive and find a happy gamer family
The police took the emergency call very seriously and dispatched six patrol cars to the given address. The McKee family lived there. The officers approached the house with guns drawn, anticipating a potential mass shooting or hostage situation.
All just a false alarm: Instead, a cheerful woman named Jamie McKee opened the door in the presence of her lively family and wanted to know what was going on. Fortunately, the situation was quickly clarified, as seen in the video embedded below:
There was no argument, no domestic violence, and certainly no hostage situation. Rather, Jamie McKee had spent the whole evening playing the multiplayer part of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 with her husband and daughter.

The gamer family wants to play with the window closed in the future: The McKees expressed understanding and praised the officers for their prompt action. They do not know who called the police but apologize to their neighbors for any inconvenience caused.
In the future, they want to pay more attention to the volume and keep the window closed while gaming.
The situation with the McKees ended well. However, swatting, or deliberately calling the police to troll gamers, is a real problem:
