Teen Butt-Dials 911 While Playing 'Rainbow Six Siege,' Proclaims 'I Killed Two People'

A teenage gamer in Kentucky accidentally made an emergency call on Jan. 5, in which he was heard saying he killed two people while playing an online tactical shooter video game.

Elijah Sierocki, 17, was participating in an online party match of "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege" with friends on Jan. 5 when he unknowingly pocket-dialed 911, Law&Crime reported.

The teenager was then heard uttering the phrase, "I killed two people," after notching two kills in the game.

The dispatcher on the other end of the call apparently believed they received a double murder confession, and local law enforcement was summoned to the teen's address.

"I was sitting down on my couch playing 'Rainbow Six Siege' with my two best friends, Tyler and Devan, and all of a sudden, we're in the middle of a match and I killed two people, I got two kills, and after that I died," Sierocki told Law&Crime's Sam Goldberg in a podcast interview for "After Hours" earlier this week. "So, I got on my phone to watch TikTok – that's what I'd usually do when I died – and I see a call on my phone. It's 911."

In his interview, the teenager said that the call seemed to have been made by the iPhone's emergency call feature that occurs when the volume and the power button are pushed at the same time.

"I started freaking out," Sierocki recalled.

He asked his friends what he should do. They suggested dialing the number back, but he opposed it.

"I got three calls from the dispatch trying to call me to figure out what's going on," the teenager continued. "And in no more than two minutes, my dogs start barking at the front door. And they're pretty smart dogs. So, they barked at the front door and they run over to me at the couch in the other room and they run back to the front door."

Sierocki then looked out of his window and saw four police patrol cars outside of his home. He realized at that point that he spoke of the two digital kills during the four-minute emergency call.

"I have two decisions: I either stay inside and they knock on the front door or I walk outside with my hands up," Sierocki recalled. "So, I'm like, 'if I walk outside with my hands up, what's gonna go wrong?'"

As he walked outside, the 17-year-old saw one of the sheriff's deputies to his right pointing a gun at him.

"He scares me," Sierocki said. "Because he kinda jumped a little bit."

Sierocki's Ring doorbell camera caught the whole scene on his own front porch. In the footage, the teenager can be seen exiting the front door with his hands raised before carefully approaching law enforcement.

A video of the incident was shared by a friend and has since gone viral.

Sierocki said he was questioned about what was actually going on, subjected to a pat-down and asked to place his hands behind his back, all while the gun was still pointed at him. Sierocki said he was "visibly shaking so hard" during the entire process.

A spokesperson with the Boone County Sheriff's Office told the outlet in an email that they would "need to learn more about the incident before providing a comment" and that they were "in the process of gathering body worn camera video in response to an open records request" filed by the Law&Crime Network.

There are apparently no hard feelings about the ordeal.

"I did say I killed two people," the teenager acknowledged. "I understand what they're trying to do. They went about the procedure very, very professionally. They handled it pretty well."
