YouTuber Boogie2988 Reportedly Fires Gun at Frank Hassle
A heated confrontation between YouTubers Steven "Boogie2988" Williams and Frank Hassle seemingly came to a head after Hassle showed up at Williams' house, resulting in Williams firing a "warning shot" at Hassle, according to images, audio, and footage of the incident now being circulated online.
The incident follows a harassment campaign perpetrated by Hassle against Williams, culminating with Hassle arriving at his Williams' home. Recordings from the incident show Hassle arriving at Williams' doorstep, during which the two exchange a heated argument. Williams, who is holding a gun throughout the confrontation, warns Hassle to leave the property before firing a warning shot at Hassle. Hassle can be heard laughing during the incident, asking "Are you going to shoot me in your doorway?"
The confrontation continues after Williams fires the warning shot, with Williams continually asking Hassle to leave. Eventually, Hassle leaves the property and the police are called. Since the incident, Dramalert YouTuber Keemstar has become heavily involved, releasing a video featuring footage of the incident and a "debate" between Williams and Hassle, as well as audio and footage from both sides of the confrontation.

The resulting fallout of the meeting has been a mixture of vitriol, memes, and confused reactions from internet spectators. Williams is best known for his character Francis, who is portrayed as a Mountain Dew addict with anger issues, which has fueled a number of befuddled reactions from all corners of the internet. Williams suffers from mental health and anxiety disorders, topics he has been open about on his channel in the past.
One of the most recent updates regarding the incident came from Williams himself, stating that the incident is now a criminal investigation. Williams claims to have since handed footage over to the police, and stated that it's now up to the police to decide what happens next.
Hassle's Twitter timeline has been full of memes and images of the incident, including an image of him flipping off Williams, who is standing in his doorway with a gun. Beyond that, Hassle has offered few solid updates about the incident.
The incident now falls into the hands of the police, with the investigation of the matter likely determining what happens next. Social media guidelines already seem to prohibit portions of the footage being uploaded, but both parties recorded what happened, including footage from Williams' video doorbell. That, coupled with history of the pairs' exchanges on Twitter and other platforms, will likely be key to the investigations.
