A teenager has been shot dead after breaking into a house while playing Pokémon GO. Jerson Lopez de Leon, 18, from Guatemala, is reported to be playing the game with his friend Daniel Moises Picen, 17, when they decided to break into a home in Chiquimula to catch one of the virtual animals.
Local reports claim that Leon was then shot dead, while Picen was badly wounded.Police say that they are looking for the occupants of an agricultural van seen racing from the scene.If local reports are correct, it could be the first death caused by the wildly popular augmented reality game.
Rescuers had to be called out to aid a group of 20 teenagers playing the game in the early hours of Tuesday morning when they pinched a oat and rowed to the middle of a lake.
The teenagers fled the Marine Lake in New Brighton, Merseyside, before crews arrived. A driver was fined in Stourbridge, West Midlands, for playing at the wheel. Two Pokémon GO players were shot at by a homeowner in Florida after being mistaken for burglars.
