If you see three people with "guns" prowling around your home, what do you do? Law enforcement warns parents about 'senior assassin' game after teenager was shot

This is not the first time I've seen a news article about high school kids playing "Assassin" with water pistols. It probably won't be the last.

On Wednesday an off-duty Florida Department of Law Enforcement agent shot a Bishop Kenny High student in the arm while he was playing “senior assassins” in Nassau County.

In addition to some inane questions by "Professional Journalists" (so called), we get this statement from the State's Attorney.

“The water guns often look like real firearms, certainly in the dark,” said State Attorney Melissa Nelson.

Action News Jax asked Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper if the agent identified herself as law enforcement before shooting the teen.

The kid who got shot, was shot in the arm. That was blind luck really. He could have been shot in the head.

The cops want parents to get involved. The school issued a statement. Bases covered.

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.
