Multiple Police Agencies Sound Alarm on ‘Senior Assassin’ Game Threatening Local Communities

High school students throughout the Valley are engaging in a water gun game known as “Senior Assassin.” Local police are urging communities to remain vigilant.

In response to the growing popularity of this game, several police departments have taken to social media to promote safety. “Senior Assassin” involves teenagers working in teams to “tag” one another with water guns, often in public settings like parks and shopping centers.

The Queen Creek Police Department has advised parents to discuss the game’s potential hazards with their children. They highlight the importance of supervision and awareness during such activities.

Chandler and Gilbert police departments have echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing that water guns should not resemble real firearms. Other recommendations include:

• Choosing brightly colored water guns.
• Avoiding private property and business areas.
• Not targeting individuals uninvolved in the game.
• Displaying water guns in a safe, non-threatening manner.
• Monitoring teens’ locations and companions.
• Discussing the game’s perception by outsiders.

It should be noted that the “Senior Assassin” game is not officially sanctioned by schools or city authorities. While Gilbert Police labeled the activity as “unsanctioned,” Queen Creek Police did not clarify its status.

As this water gun game gathers momentum, the community remains aware of the excitement and potential risks associated with it.
