Teens Arrested Over 'Senior Assassins' Water Gun Game
13 Aug
Summary
- Two teenagers were arrested for disorderly conduct over a water gun game.
- Police had previously warned the public about the game's potential legal risks.
- The incident occurred at an In-N-Out Burger, similar to a recent shooting.
Two 17-year-olds were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct in Queen Creek for playing the popular "Senior Assassins" water gun game. The arrests took place on August 8th, approximately 10 p.m., after police responded to a call about people possessing a gun at an In-N-Out Burger. Officers arrived to find the teens with water guns, one wearing a mask. This incident followed a social media warning from the Queen Creek Police Department on August 6th, urging caution and parental guidance regarding the game.
The police department explicitly stated they did not endorse or encourage participation in the non-school-sponsored activity. They advised against using water guns resembling firearms, displaying them threateningly, trespassing, or playing in business areas or near traffic. The warning emphasized the risks of unsafe situations, public alarm, and legal repercussions. The timing of the arrests is notable, occurring just one week after a tragic shooting at an In-N-Out in Idaho that resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries.
