All that for this.
On Saturday, the gendarmerie surveillance and intervention platoon (PSIG) intervened in the middle of the night in a dwelling in the small town of Mézidon Vallée d'Auge in Calvados.
Alerted by neighbors who were worried about hearing screams, the emergency services intervened with the support of the gendarmerie and broke down the door to the accommodation.
Inside, they only found a young man, asleep and under the influence of alcohol, reports Ouest-France.
The man reportedly explained that he was actually playing the Call of Duty war video game.
The latter would have actually shouted and called for help but as part of his part of FPS (First-person shooter, where the player plays the shooter).
According to
Ouest-France
, the young man was the subject of a judicial intelligence procedure.
The daily recalls that a similar intervention had taken place in the Paris region a few months ago.
Neighbors feared that a woman would be attacked.
This, too, was a player in one of the best-selling video games of the decade.
