Instead they opened the door to a 10-year-old boy and a frightened family who risked being mistakenly killed, Peters said.

Nearly 60,000 online viewers watched as an Air Force veteran was reduced to tears after a SWAT team allegedly raided his family's Minnesota home over a prank call known as "swatting."

The heartless moment was live streamed on Twitch.TV as 27-year-old Joshua Peters cheerfully talked to his viewers while playing video games inside his St. Cloud home Thursday.

As he jovially toyed around while playing the game RuneScape, he paused to answer a knock at the door.

When he returned approximately 12 minutes later, the veteran, who said he was medically evacuated back to the U.S. after serving in Kuwait, appeared struggling to compose himself.
