A YouTuber known for pranking people was shot at a Washington, D.C.-area mall on Sunday. Tanner Cook, who appears on the"Classified Goons" YouTube channel, said he was playing a prank when a man shot him.
The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office in Virginia arrested 31-year-old Alan W. Colie for allegedly shooting the 21-year-old Cook at Dulles Town Center Mall Food Court, the sheriff's officeColie was charged with aggravated malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and discharging a firearm within a building.
The gunshot caused panic in the mall and when police arrived, they found Cook outside with a gunshot wound to his abdomen. Cook was transported to the hospital, where"I was playing a prank and a simple practical joke, and this guy didn't take it very well," he said, adding that the shooter didn't say anything to him. Cook's friend had the camera rolling during the shooting, and the footage is now evidence in the investigation.
YOU ARE SO FAR BEHIND THE 8 BALL ITS JUST CONSIDERED DAILY COMEDY CBS🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
The first funny trick he did and he can only do it once.
Quem quer surpreender as vezes se surpreende. É o caso!!!
What was the prank?
🤔Hmm! FAFO!😏
Play stupid games…
Didn't this happen last week?
What these YouTube pranksters do not understand is that everyone in Virginia is to be considered armed and maybe just a bit trigger happy. That’s both side of the political spectrum. Join the 21st century people.
LOL
Posted 10x since last Sunday. How much is ENOUGH?
It's days old. Get in the game.
Reposting the same headlines over n over
Suspect?
Last Sunday ….. try and keep up
We need a 'no pranks law' to go along with 'stand your ground'. This should've been a legal shoot.
Hilarious...
LMAO ... that's what he gets. 🤡
🤦♂️🤷♂️

Play stupid games….🤷🏽♀️
Play stupid games with stupid prizes!!! Bet they won’t do that again!! People get fed up with these childish pranks hope it’s a lesson to all those who play pranks for content!! Find better content to make!!
FAFO 9.1/10
Sorry Not Sorry
I bet he will get a few views for that 💰
FAFO
FAFO
do you think he learned a lesson: to stop pranking strangers;Hell know;his next move is to get shot more often it gets him more clicks;the real joke is will he see his next stunt go wrong.
This is old as hell. Pick out any number of ways Republicans are stripping rights in states across the country and blast it.
SEE what happens when you pull pranks … at some point you will be hurt!
Piss on him. Enjoy the bag your gonna wear the rest of you life.
4 days old. Do better or get blocked.
The shooter didn't communicate at all. He apparently looked at the 21 year old and shot him in the abdomen. The shooter is facing multiple charges. Kid spoke about it in the hospital.
Oh well
I want to see the prank prior to the shooting.
learn hard way
Apparently he was a little too sensitive 🤣
He’s not a suspect, if he was pranked - the guy who pranked him is the suspect-
Now he’s gonna start the “Why were you shot” podcast with gun survivors only as guests.
We really should have started making laws about this in the 90s when this shit started. The public areas are not there for teenagers to be edgy. Punish them and their parents.
I think his prancing days are over
Maybe he'll learn to leave people the fuck alone?
Oops.
Regardless of if he felt he was “pranking” someone, the reality is he’s fucking with strangers who are minding their own business. He’s lucky he’s alive but I doubt he’s learned a lesson
janrobinjackson It's all fun and games until....................
A classic case of playing stupid games to win stupid prices. I’m sure it was all worth that sweet sweet clout though.
Of course because everyone now carries a gun. 😡
The whole story reflects badly on modern society.
I'm so glad that good guy with a gun was there.
Lesson learned
dmrider Inevitable.
Another gun owner who can’t wait to kill somebody.
Good. Maybe he will learn now 🤭
Idk, depending on the prank, could be justified. FreeColie
I mean…I get it…but
Who's laughing now?
Good!
'Good...' - Michael Che
is it wrong for not to feel any sympathy for the prankster? and Dad of the prankster.... maybe could advice your son that every action has unexpected reaction?
Just a matter of time
Here we go again……another deep investigation as to why!
Jesus Christ the number of people who think a prank justifies lethal force is simply terrifying. I bet half of them are “Christian”. Is it moronic to prank strangers? Yes. But it’s even moronic to shoot the prankster. Shooter is unhinged and dangerous.
This didn’t happen in DC, it happened in Virginia 🤨
This is an old story. Try to keep up for chrissakes.
Fuck around and find out.
This 'non-story' is now a week old and has been posted a dozen times. Can we MOVE ON
Ooops!
Who was on the ground?
The dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed
F*ck around and find out.
Hopefully this story blows up enough to serve as a warning towards the creators to stop this foolishness
thx
FAAFO
Per an interview with his dad “…the guy knocked my sons phone away from his face. My son tried to get him to do it again and the guy shot him.” LMAO.
Play silly games...
It's a sick country where you can get shot anytime for playing a prank. I am glad that I live in Europe without stupid gun culture
But I thought it a prank bro works all the time 😂
Good.
Anything for attention
No sympathy. I’ve seen enough of those videos to know he had it coming.
thats how they settle issues in the States. pew pew pew
Pranking is high risk to life, don't do it
This is a rare occasion when a prank makes me laugh.
Good! I’m so tired of theses stupid pranks & all for the clout
You Must Acquit
Great peaceful country and civilisation
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hair trigger tempers, ego problems and guns. What could go wrong?
Pranking in the US is the new russian roulette! 😀
He's still alive?👀🤔🙄😳😳😳
Guaranteed Tanner will be right back out doing it again. He'll never learn.
To the man defending himself:
Good for him I hope he can never do it again play with someone else
afrdiasporanews kengandanation DrMumbiSeraki rolandsmartin
Some people don't play games
File this under “Karma is a Bit—“.
Guns....enough all ready. Time for America to grow up. Any 'civilized' nation should have no use for firearms.
So many weird mfkas happy to see someone shot because of a prank? I mean… yeah the kid is dumb… but pulling out a gun and shooting it in a public place is beyond reckless. That guy shouldn’t ever be able to legally hold a gun again
More guns in a having gun-contolled area? Weird.....
It won’t work. I still won’t watch your drivel.
Stop saying this was in DC! This happened in Virginia!
Posting this repeatedly won't increase its news value.
The real joke is that the prankster now has a civil claim likely..
Finally, a good guy with a gun.
Sounds like the prankster fucked around and found out. Grow up dude
I am sorry that he was hurt. Didn’t we see this coming? I don’t find the whole ‘prank’ culture amusing. I hate it. I hope this causes people to think twice before proceeding in seeking to embarrass someone for clicks and likes.
And that’s what you get
fuckedaroundfoundout.jpg
It’s called fuck around and find out
'Tanner Cook told WUSA he has no ill will and he will not stop making his videos... [until he is eventually killed]'
It was only a matter of time.
He f**ked around and found out.
Pranking has gone out of control
Fucked around. Found out.
Pranker is at fault cause he didn't have a gun to defend himself, if he had a gun to defend himself this wouldn't of happened.
What surprising is that this doesn't happen more often.
I was waiting for something like this to happen!!
This title is so misleading: this happened in VIRGINIA and not even close to DC at all. Why the heck are you trying to make this seem like a DC thing?
It’s about time! Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Also known as f* around and find out.
Every one wants to be seen in the internet, even those fooling around. Your useless prank can cause you your life if you don’t stop. You don’t know what people are going through or who’s armed or not. Stop your stupid pranks or you will regret it.
Don't prank people. Anyone growing up in NY NJ knows this common sense
Just looked up the dude's videos. Glad he's gonna be ok but let's be honest, this is not a surprise.
70% of contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan has already been discharged into groundwater, and 30% will be dumped into the sea. The Pacific Ocean is already polluted with contaminated water from nuclear power, and Japan is fooling the world.
Good
Looks like he plays too much.
Stupid mf . Fafo
Fuck around and find out.
Lesson here: Don’t mess around with people, you do, you’ll mess around with the wrong person, and this is what happens.
Pranking is definitely dumb and mean but it also sounds like something who struggles to regulate their emotions has access to a gun
FIFO I hope he’s going to be ok but the way this country is right now, this is not smart.
Life’s all about choices🤷🏻
Play stupid games... win stupid prizes. 🙄
Hopefully this puts an end to these awful prank videos. 'It's a new hour. Now we all ain't gon' be American Idols, But you could 'least grab a camera, shoot a viral.' KanyeWest
He took it too serious 😩
I’m sure that will get him the views that he desperately craved.
Just willing to do anything to be famous, like Amos.
What did this YouTube prankster think was going to happen? LoL?
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Sometimes the prize is death.
Fuck around and find out.
I hate pranks and I react harshly and violently. Even if they come from friends or family!! Don’t do it
🤣🤡
No jury should convict
People are on edge, on gaurd, and are done playin around
Pranking is dangerous… PERIOD. Some people just not tryna be fucked with. The Internet is entertaining and at times confused for “MAGICAL”. But it’s just always been a tool that can be USED FOR GOOD OR MISUSED depending on everyone’s own situation.
Easy solution: Stop f*cking with people!!
While the shooting was absolutely wrong and uncalled for, all I can say for the prankster is: Stupid is as stupid does. Why take chances like that given our current environment? Not everyone takes some thing as a joke.
He Fucked Around and Found Out
Something about stupid games comes to mind…
He fafo the wrong person!
Sad what no talents do for views.
Matter of time .
Awesome for YouTube! Let's see if it's real blood.
Too bad. Aim a little higher next time. And according to Tanner, there will be a next time.
Still expecting to see the “cart narc” in one of these headlines
Everyone in America should wear bullet proof vests at all times.
Not so funny now huh buddy?
Good. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes! The pranks nowadays are getting out of hand. Maybe he'll learn his lesson; or maybe he'll just get more subscribers.
Good. Do that crap with people you know not random folks just trying to go about their day. I sure this won't be the last time this happens.
not good
Was he prank robbing the guy? What the heck happened here?
There are so many popups in this post that it was impossible to read.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lolololol
Not surprised
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. People don’t want to be fucked with while they’re shopping.
YouTube you need to demonetize this loser if he hasn't been already. An innocent bystander could have been hurt, and you're funding that behavior.
Fuck Around Find Out works well . . .
Everyone pulling these pranks on people in public got it coming.
That'll learn ya dern ya.
Finally a rational response to prankers
All Tanner is is a bully with the excuse, 'It's a prank bro'. Tanner got off very lite. I have seen some of his videos I am surprised no one has shot him until now.
FAFO.
I wonder if it was a good guy with a gun?
Maybe not everyone finds the pranks funny.
Better stop with the pranks!! Especially on unknown people!!!
Don't do pranks anymore. People are already stressed for everything. A prank is an unwelcome thing to do to anyone.
Well hope his video goes viral enough to compensate for the pain and suffering
Well, he found out. Those pranksters should really stop…
Some of these pranks cross the line. We want to see the footage of the prank. The shooter could have thought he was under attack. You have given us ambiguous information in your story
I hate to say it - but ….
Screw him. Maybe next time he will act like a adult.
Hahahahahaha
I needed a good laugh 🤭
Something something find out. Once I pranked my friend in school and she kicked my shin so hard I saw ✨. I found out. Not unsympathetic but it’s not like he was selling Girl Scout cookies .
Guess he was on the “find out” side of the grid.
What was the prank?
FAFO score - 8.5
I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. People will take a bullet for clicks and likes.
Bwahahaha
I’m sure the shooting was just a prank
F*ck around and find out🤷🏻
I don’t agree with the shooting, but pranksters of every kind are not funny.
These people go out in public with the goal of fucking with people. I don’t condone shooting somebody, obviously, but it’s hard to defend a victim who willingly makes it their job to piss others off…
Guess he found out hahahaha
FAFO
Society doesn’t and won’t pity a single one of these pranksters who end up injured or dead.
Surprised it doesn't happen more often. These clowns running around trying to make a living off social media at the expense of others.. not the last time it's gonna happen.
davidpugliese Like the sovereign citizen guy who got tased by P Barnes at the courthouse.
Unless he was being physically threatened, the asshole who shot him is the asshole. If you shoot people when you're mad, you're a criminal and should go to jail for a long time
I think the whole prank thing is stupid, but resorting to shooting someone is just out of control.
FA/FO
He F'ed around and found out.
PSA: Stick to pranking people you know.
Told y’all this was gonna start happening more often. 🤷🏾♂️
Sweet
Oops. Permitless carry is coming everywhere. Be careful out there with your silly jokes.
Hmmmmm, if only Merica didn’t have guns…….
These kind of thing should be banned from YouTube and a lot of more things
That's what he gets
Nice prank, bro.
People need to stop using unknowing people as “content” for their posts on social media. Playing a “prank” today can come with a high price. FAFO
Is this the same guy that kept threatening people with a knife when they didn’t laugh?
Shooter played a prank on him.
He fucked around and found out.
So do we now defend the shooter’s 2a? It is our right to defend myself against YouTube pranksters?
Why do you phrase it as “playing pranks” and not “harassing strangers?”
Example of what happens in a sick perverted country when lawlessness pervades and defund the police becomes the mantra.
ChuckRossDC F around and find out!
FAFO
Perhaps don’t fuck with people you don’t know?
“F and around and find out” poster child
