False alarm leads to LAPD standoff with 'Call of Duty' mannequin

[damnedifIknow]

The Los Angeles offices of former "Call of Duty" developer Robert Bowling resembled one of his video games when a standoff was triggered by a "Call of Duty" mannequin in full combat gear. As a precaution against death threats (which, apparently, happen frequently to video game developers), the indie game studio Robotoki installed a panic alarm that was accidentally pressed. After the staff left for the day, leaving Bowling alone, police arrived, spotted the heavily armed mannequin and raided the building. Bowling was detained at gunpoint while police assessed the "threat," which didn't take long. They all then had a big laugh and played a round of classic Nintendo games.

1. Fortunately, none of the cops had to shoot the mannequin on the grounds that it "lunged" at them.
