An off-duty agent from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement shot a high school student during a "Senior Assassins" game, mistaking him for a prowler. The game involves players sneaking around with water guns, which can be confused for real weapons.
Florida State Attorney Melissa Nelson warns the game's popularity poses serious risks. The agent tended to the student's non-life-threatening injuries immediately, but the incident highlights the game's potential danger.
Authorities urge parents to talk to their kids about the risks, echoing concerns after similar incidents nationwide.
