(Brighton Township, PA) The Brighton Township Police Department has received numerous calls about suspicious people and situations over the last few days and would like to make its residents aware of a game that is often played by high school students this time of year called “Assassins,” in which participants attempt to eliminate other players using water guns or similar toy devices. While it is intended to be a harmless game, these incidents can cause concern for residents who may observe people that are either running through neighborhoods, hiding near homes or vehicles, or carrying objects that may appear to be firearms. Parents also should speak with their children about the potential risks that are associated with playing this game in public areas.
