In Chiquimula, Guatemala
Just recently we saw that folks in New York City were willing to jump barriers to restricted areas to catch creatures in Pokemon Go, but this is another level entirely.
According to the Mirror, an 18-year old in Chiquimula, Guatemala allegedly tried to break in to someone's house to capture Pokemon, and was shot and killed -- his cousin who was with him at the time was wounded. Independent is reporting that they were actually shot while they were walking outside. If the reports are confirmed, it could be the first Go related death to date.
We've seen people fall off cliffs, drive into cops, and find dead bodies playing this game, most of which are at fault for not paying attention. When literally millions of players every day are engaging with something that encourages them to wander around, things like this are bound to happen eventually. Either way, it's pretty crazy.
