A young prankster was shot and critically injured over the weekend while filming yet another prank video for his YouTube channel.
Just before noon on Sunday, 21-year-old Tanner Cook went to the Dulles Town Center mall in Dulles, Virginia, near Washington, D.C., to shoot a video for his YouTube channel, Classified Goons. Cook and the rest of the Classified Goons are known for venturing into public places and pranking unsuspecting people going about their days. Among his many pranks, Cook has posed as a Target employee, stolen people’s shopping carts at Walmart, and pretended to urinate on the floor of a store. The channel has nearly 40,000 subscribers.
