'Senior Assassin' Game Played At Upper Dublin High, Police Warn

UPPER DUBLIN TOWNSHIP, PA — The Upper Dublin Township Police Department is warning residents that some high school seniors are participating in the “Senior Assassin” game.

The game is when students attempt to “eliminate” one another using water guns, police said.

"This activity has been known to cause concern among the public, as it often involves students moving stealthily through neighborhoods and, at times, hiding to surprise their intended victim," police said.

The police department said it has received calls from residents reporting suspicious persons and/or activity.

"While this may seem like harmless fun, we do not condone the game due to its potential for negative consequences," police said.

Police warn students who choose to participate that safety must be the top priority.

Police said that participants should not trespass and must leave any property immediately if asked by the owner.

They should also avoid wearing dark or camouflaged clothing and, most importantly, should not use any water gun that could be mistaken for a real firearm, police said.

Additionally, if approached by a police officer, do not run or hide — stop, cooperate, and clearly explain what you are doing.

Any residents who observe suspicious activity should call 911 immediately and report it. Officers will respond and handle the situation. Do not attempt to confront individuals yourself, police warn.
