No injuries were reported in this alleged incident. The company reached out to the gamer to check if he was okay, and offered him a replacement headset, alongside other goodies.
The stray bullet, the origins of which are still unknown, reportedly pierced the bedroom window and bounced off a wall before hitting the headsets. The alleged incident occurred in the Torrance, California. Police removed the bullet after being called to the house, and are currently investigating the issue.
Fellow Redditors initially dismissed the incident to be a hoax but the teen added more pictures of his window and wall with a bullet mark to prove his point.
Razer CEO responds, company offers new headset
Enough_Dance_956 shared on a Reddit post, “Hello to everyone who sees this. I’m trying to get a hold of someone at Razer to thank them with all my heart. Wednesday morning at 10:30 am a stray bullet went through my window and hit the Razer headphones on top of my head. If it wasn’t for the headphones made with good quality I would’ve been a dead kid at the age of 18. I couldn’t even imagine all the pain my family and friends would’ve been through.”
The Razer Community Team got in touch with the user and responded. “Your Razer fam is extremely glad to know that you’re safe! Sent you a message so we can take care of your concern. Let’s continue from there.”
Min Lian-Tan, Founder and CEO of Razer, also responded to the post, saying, “Whoa – that’s crazy. Glad you’re OK!”
