The incident occurred during a regular match of the online shooter game “Rainbow Six Siege”, where the player Elijah was in a group chat with friends , and the match was going as expected, according to Yard Parker.
Unbeknownst to Elijah at the time, he apparently called the emergency services on his phone, so when he told his friends “I’ve killed two people,” the police on the other end thought he had committed an actual double murder.
