I've been wondering when something like this would happen, sad situation all around, but man you can't do stupid shit like this. I feel bad for the guys family that was killed but I really feel bad for the guy who did the shooting because he didn't know it wasn't real, he had to take someone's life because of a stupid ass prank.

Man killed while filming prank robbery video for YouTube in Old Hickory | WKRN News 2

"OLD HICKORY, Tenn. (WKRN) – One person was killed in a shooting in Old Hickory near the Hermitage line Friday night, according to a release from Metro police.

It happened around 9:20 p.m. in the 4300 block of Old Hickory Boulevard at a building with several businesses, including a trampoline park.

Metro police said 20-year-old Timothy Wilks was shot and killed in the parking lot of Urban Air on Old Hickory Boulevard.

Detectives were told Wilks and a friend were participating in a “prank” robbery as part of a YouTube video and approached a group of people, including the shooter, with butcher knives.

A 23-year-old man told police he shot Wilks and wasn’t aware the robbery was a “prank.” Investigators reported he said it was in “self-defense.”

“This is like a huge kids area and when we were in there, there were a ton of tiny kids and it’s just like that would not be a great idea. Especially if anyone was walking out here or something like that,” Urban Air customer Emily Yeager told News 2.

No charges have been filed and the investigation is ongoing."

Honestly, not buying the prank aspect of this.

How is attempted armed robbery a prank?
I'd guess they where filming because they wanted to Yolo to thier friends about scarring the shit out of some strangers and taking thier wallets.


I don't think this was an innocent "prank". This is at best that bully that shoves a kid off the swing and goes "I was just play'n" when the kid falls and starts to cry.

Before social media, you either had to strap a JATO rocket to a Chevy Impala, out in the desert, or tip over a soda machine on yourself. You actually had to work hard to Darwin yourself. Damn kids, have it to easy these days I tell ya !
