YouTuber shot at mall after prank goes awry -.

“It’s just a prank bro” only seems to go so far, as YouTuber Tanner Cook found out the hard way after he was shot while filming a prank video for his channel.

Cook’s channel, Classified Goons, has more than 38,000 subscribers and is full of prank videos, but over the weekend Cook ended up in a hand-to-hand fight that became seriously dangerous when one of his targets finally shot him.

The YouTuber is still alive, but sustained damage to his liver and stomach. It was not made clear what the prank was or how it went so badly, with Cook only saying: “I was playing a joke and a simple practical joke, and this guy didn’t take it very well.” to local news.

The shooter has been charged by local police with aggravated assault, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and discharging a firearm into a building. Cook has been in intensive care for days and is still recovering in the hospital at the time of writing.
