Senior assassin

Law enforcement agencies nationwide warn against the 'Senior assassin' game, a water gun-based activity among high school graduates that has led to police resource waste and dangerous misunderstandings. Incidents include a Florida student nearly shot by an off-duty officer and a recent Arizona case where a teacher mistook a toy gun for a real one, prompting a police investigation.

A high school student in Massachusetts was charged after allegedly firing gel projectiles at three teens during a viral 'Senior Assassin' game, resulting in two minors being injured. Authorities recovered the weapon and warned that the unsanctioned game, involving non-lethal devices, can escalate into dangerous situations.
