Video of prank YouTuber Tanner Cook shot in the mall released

“It is what it is,“ that is how Prank YouTuber Tanner Cook reacted after a jury found the man who shot him inside Dulles Town Center in April not guilty. A jury found Alan Colie not guilty of aggravated malicious wounding or use of a firearm for aggravated malicious wounding, however, he was found guilty of firing a gun inside the mall. That guilty verdict has been set aside until a hearing to discuss it on October 19. Colie was standing trial for shooting Tanner Cook, the 21-year-old behind the YouTube channel “Classified Goons.“ The case went viral not because there was a shooting inside a mall, but because Cook is known to make prank videos. Cook amassed 55,000 subscribers with an average income of up to $3,000 per month. He said he elicits responses to entertain viewers and called his pranks “comedy content.” WUSA9 caught up with the Cook family following the verdict. When we asked Tanner Cook how he felt about the outcome, he said it is all up to God.
