It doesn’t happen often where it seems like a video game will come to life but for this gamer, it may have felt like it did.
A 17-year-old in Kentucky named Elijah was playing the tactical shooter game “Rainbow Six Siege” at his home, when he accidentally butt-dialed 911.
Elijah was using the voice-chat feature in the game . . . and the operator apparently heard him say, “I killed two people.” He meant IN THE GAME of course . . . but the operator didn’t know that.
Within a few minutes, the police swarmed his house to question him about this double homicide “confession.”
Naturally, Elijah FREAKED OUT when he answered the door, and had guns pointed at him.
Elijah later said that he realized he’d called 911 by accident just before the cops showed up . . . so when he noticed all the cop cars outside he made sure to come out of the house with his hands up.
He said he was “shaking so hard” during the entire situation.
Eventually, Elijah and the police were able to figure out what happened . . . and one officer even calmed him down by asking him who his favorite character is to play in the game.
He said it was Ying . . . and the cop said he also liked to play as her.
Elijah said the guy was cool, and he’d love to play the game WITH the officer someday. He said the cops were all great . . . considering the circumstances . . . and they made sure he was okay before they left.
As for HOW he called 911, it’s easier than you think. Elijah said he has an iPhone, and there’s a feature on the lock screen where it’ll automatically dial emergency services if you hold down the side button and volume button.
The Ring camera at Elijah’s house caught the action as he exited the house to a street full of police cruisers and armed officials, Check it out below. There is also an interview done via YouTube of him talking about the story below!
