Clix Swatted During IRL Stream as Mall Evacuated Over False Alarm

On September 14th, 2024, Twitch streamer Clix was caught in a dangerous situation when a swatting incident disrupted his IRL stream at Town Center Mall in Boca Raton, Florida. The mall was evacuated, and a significant police presence was required to manage the situation.

Clix, who was live on Twitch, had taken his stream to the mall for a shopping trip with TikTok star Rachel Brockman. The peaceful outing quickly turned into chaos when a false report of a shooting was made, leading to the mall being shut down and all visitors evacuated.

In a distressing live update, Clix detailed the unfolding crisis. He reported that mall security had locked all doors, and the police were led to believe that he might be involved in the situation. Clix described scenes of panic, with individuals inside the mall screaming and crying as they awaited evacuation.

The Boca Raton Police Department later confirmed the situation via their social media channels. They revealed that the swatting call involved Clix, leading to a thorough response that included detaining him for questioning. The police conducted a sweep of Clix’s rental vehicle, but no suspicious items were found. Despite the resolution, the investigation into the false alarm continues.

In response to the incident, Clix expressed his dismay on Twitter, condemning the dangerous prank and announcing his decision to stop IRL streaming due to the associated risks.
