Bryan Police warn of safety risks after ‘Senior Assassin’ game triggers 911 call
Key Points:
- Bryan police detained eight high school seniors after a 911 call reported people chasing each other with what appeared to be firearms, but it was a game called "Senior Assassin" involving water guns.
- The game, popular among seniors in Bryan and College Station, involves players eliminating each other with water guns, but it has raised safety concerns due to nighttime activities, trespassing, and vehicle chases.
- Police warn that the game's behavior can be mistaken for criminal activity, leading to emergency calls and potentially dangerous encounters between participants and law enforcement.
- A tragic incident in 2025 in North Texas, where a teen died during the game, highlights the risks involved, prompting police to urge caution and parental discussions about safety and public perception.
- Authorities emphasize that while the game is not illegal, participants should be mindful of their surroundings to avoid misunderstandings and ensure community safety.
