Sheriff warns of dangerous virus play students who play students

Sheriff Eddie Cathey asks the parents to intervene after the MPs have reacted to several incidents in which students play a dangerous viral game called “Senior Assassin” in the areas of Weddington, Waxhaw and Wesley.

The game includes students who aim at their classmates by attacking them with water guns that often resemble real weapons, which leads to confusion and potential danger. The MPs have received reports from teenagers who wear dark clothes and masks that are suspicious of houses and companies.

“Parents, we need your help! Please talk to your teenagers about the serious risks of this game, ”said Sheriff Cathey. “Wearing water pistols that are similar to real weapons in public or private places can lead to confusion, fear and dangerous situations.”

One of the most worrying incidents occurred late Wednesday evening near the Crane Road, where the MPs were called into a house after two black -dressed high school students were hidden along the side of a house.

They prepared for attacking and spraying water on their classmates when they returned home and climbed out of her car.

Fortunately, the MPs first arrived and grabbed before the situation escalated.

The prank was written after Union County, where the resident Stephen Stroud had a look at it on Wednesday evening.

“I saw a car pulling up. There was someone here. The lights were switched off, ”said Stroud. “I saw another car go up and did the same.”

Stroud said Channel 9 that he lives from Crane Road in Waxhaw. He said what the people were wearing was repulsive.

“They are black in everything and that really frightened me,” said Stroud. Then they went to this house and they don't knock on the door or something. They only followed the scope. “

Stroud said his roommate even turned to the people to see what was going on.

“He said, 'Hey, is everything okay?' They say: “Yes, we play a game and so”, “explained Stroud.

But Stroud said he didn't buy it and was already on the phone with the Union County's Sheriff.

He would finally find out that it was two 17-year-old students.

“What we see are people who make uncertain decisions,” said Leutnant James Maye.

Maye announced Channel 9 that the Sheriff's office replied to at least 12 calls regarding the prank last week.

He said that the reports of teenagers who wear dark clothes and could be suspicious about houses and companies could give someone the wrong idea.

“It only takes one person to pull their weapon when they believe that there is a threat to life to transform this into a tragedy,” said Maye.

Sheriff Cathey emphasized how important parents with their children had open discussions about the potential dangers and consequences of participation in this game. He emphasized the risk that such activities were misinterpreted as suspicious or criminal behavior, especially in communities in which homeowners take security seriously and may be armed.

The residents are encouraged to immediately report suspiciously or criminal behavior to the authorities at 911. The Sheriff's office works with the community to ensure security and prevent further incidents in connection with the game.
