Delivery Driver Acquitted in Shooting of YouTube Prankster at Dulles Town Center

A delivery driver, Alan Colie, has been acquitted of the main charge of aggravated malicious wounding after shooting YouTube prankster Tanner Cook in a mall food court. Colie claimed self-defense, and the jury agreed. However, the jury was divided on lesser firearms charges, finding Colie guilty of the unlawful discharge of a firearm in an occupied dwelling but not guilty of the malicious discharge of a firearm. The verdict was reached after five hours of deliberation, with the jury initially divided on whether Colie acted in self-defense. The judge urged them to continue deliberations, and they reached a verdict before the end of the day.
