Tanner Cook has performed pranks in a mall before – the results were not nearly as dramatic; only a bit surprising for the good sports involved.

According to Loudoun County court records reviewed by Law&Crime, the defendant has been assigned a public defender in the case. “[The] male victim was found outside the mall with a gunshot wound to the abdomen,” the press release says. “It’s surreal,” the victim’s grandfather Mike Cook added. “I pray for this young man and pray that he finds God in this.” “They were making a video at the mall and trying to have fun with people and this guy wasn’t having fun,” Jeramy Cook told WUSA. Two minutes later, the alleged gunman was in custody.

The victim's father says he was recording a prank for YouTube when the shooting occurred.

"He has a YouTube channel, and he goes to malls, and he tries to have fun and do goofy stuff and try to get people to laugh to watch his videos," Jeremy Cook said. Colie made his first court appearance Monday and was denied bond. He wasn't having a fun time, and decided to shoot my son because he was offended.

The victim's father says his son, 21-year-old Tanner Cook, is a YouTube influencer known for recording comical escapades at malls.
