YouTuber Shot and Killed While Attempting 'Prank' Robbery

A 20-year-old man was shot and killed in Nashville, Tennessee on Friday night in what police say was a YouTube video shoot gone wrong.

According to a report by local NBC News affiliate WSMV, Timothy Wilks was shot by 23-year-old David Starnes Jr., who is claiming self-defense.

Wilks and some friends were apparently trying to pull a prank on strangers in the hopes of making a viral YouTube video.

The shooting reportedly took place in the parking lot of Urban Air, a trampoline and adventure park in a strip mall in Nashville's Hermitage neighborhood.

There, police say that Wilks and a friend approached a group of people, both of them wielding butcher knives.

Starnes was among those people and, not realizing that Wilks was filming a prank, shot him.

Even without a permit, a resident may carry a handgun openly as long as they're not also carrying ammunition. »

Now, in an effort to return the internet to the golden age that existed before its current incarnation as Web 2.0 – characterised by invasive data harvesting by governments and corporations – Berners-Lee has devised a plan to save his invention.

But Berners-Lee’s answer to big tech’s overreach is far simpler: to give individuals the power to control their own data.

All I remember thinking was: “Shiiiet, I can only imagine the wild shit white pastors say in their sermons.”.
