Delivery driver who shot YouTube prankster acted in self-defense, jury finds

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:14:31 GMT

A Loudoun County jury ruled Thursday that a delivery driver acted in self-defense when he shot a YouTube prankster who was following him around a mall food court earlier this year.Alan Colie, 31, was acquitted of aggravated malicious wounding, the most serious charge he faced in the shooting of Tanner Cook, 21, who runs the “Classified Goons” YouTube channel. Colie was, however, found guilty of unlawful discharge of a firearm in an occupied building.The April 2 shooting at the food court in Dulles Town Center, about 45 minutes west of the nation’s capital, set off panic as shoppers fled what they feared to be a mass shooting.Colie’s defense attorney, Adam Pouilliard, said during Thursday’s closing arguments that his client felt menaced by the 6-foot-5 (1.95-meter-tall) Cook during the confrontation, which was designed to provoke a reaction that draws viewers to Cook’s YouTube channel.Cook, Pouilliard said, “is trying to confuse people to post videos.
