Police in Tennessee are investigating after a man was shot and killed in the parking lot of a Nashville business Friday night during a robbery ’prank’ for a YouTube video. David Starnes, 23, told police that he shot Timothy Wilks, 20, in self-defense, when the latter and a friend approached him and a group of people with butcher knives as part of the prank. Starnes has not been charged.
