Holmdel, NJ – As the school year draws to a close, Holmdel Township Police Department is cautioning the community about the “Senior Assassin” game played by high school seniors. This activity involves students attempting to “assassinate” their peers by surprising them and shooting them with water guns. These encounters often occur at private residences and public locations.
The police have received reports of confrontations where students were mistaken for burglars or car thieves while playing the game. Although the tradition is intended to be harmless, it carries potential risks for dangerous situations. The Police Department urges participants to prioritize safety and avoid entering private properties uninvited, especially at unusual hours.
Parents are encouraged to discuss the potential dangers of this activity with their children to prevent misunderstandings and ensure everyone’s safety.
