"Some of the people heard about something about a weapon and hiding behind bushes. They obviously got nervous about suspicious activity, called us, we arrived on scene, some of those kids took off running," Bridgewater Police Chief Paul Payne said."Yeah, it could be because people come in late at night. Could be dangerous I feel like," he said.
Police and school officials said they are not trying to throw water on the game, just want students to be aware of the potential danger it could cause. "Use common sense if you're doing it, and if you are stopped or approached by police, just identify yourself as a student or a kid playing the assassin game," Payne said."We'll document what we have to on our end and we'll send them on their way and let them continue the game."
According to Chief Payne, it is a sign of the times when residents are more alert to people who appear to be holding a weapon, when criminals are crawling under cars to steal catalytic converters with their precious metals. The message to students: Don’t panic when a cop shows up.
