Twitch: Streamer plays Escape from Tarkov as shots ring out in front of his house – Reacts surprisingly purposefully

The house of a Twitch streamer was hit by gunfire during a livestream as he was playing Escape from Tarkov.

Who is it about? 50calapr is a US-based Twitch streamer. He has a rather small reach and streams irregularly to an average of 5 viewers. Overall, he has nearly 660 followers on the streaming platform.

Nevertheless, a clip of the streamer recently circulated that garnered a lot of attention. Within four days, the video reached over 113,000 views on Twitch (as of May 3, 2023).

What happened to the streamer? The streamer was playing the hardcore shooter Escape from Tarkov – a game known for maintaining a certain level of realism.

Suddenly, it became loud during the livestream, and there was a bang. Some shots hit the house of 50calapr, who initially looked shocked into the camera.

Then followed a reaction from the streamer that was equally determined and surprising: instead of seeking shelter and taking cover from the gunfire, he jumped up, set his headset aside, and grabbed a rifle that was on a stand in the background.

With the rifle in hand, he soon left the frame, and the clip ends.

What does the streamer say about the incident? In the meantime, the streamer has commented on Reddit under a post showcasing the clip of the incident. He wrote that he is fine and that no one was injured.

He also explained that the shots were a so-called drive-by shooting by a gang. In a drive-by, shots are fired from a vehicle while passing by.

It was a drug/gang-related drive-by, and fortunately, no one was injured. They shot out the glass door of my apartment complex, which is messed up.

In another comment, the streamer added that it was not the first time something bad had happened in his neighborhood. However, the rent is cheap, and he is a full-time student.

While 50calapr grabbed a weapon for his defense, other streamers do it for entertainment and cause mischief in the stream – occasionally, there are even accidents and injuries:
