School Administrators Urge Parents to Condemn Assassin Game

A game of assassin in which students are given ‘assignments’ to pretend to ‘kill’ intended victims has raised concerns for Concord school administrators in light of the focus on school mass shootings and gun violence across the country.

The game, which has been popular among high school seniors for the last two decades, encourages students to stalk their ‘victims’ with water guns and shoot them.

‘The school does not condone this behavior, nor do we permit students to carry facsimiles of guns or any type on school property,’ wrote Concord High School Principal Michael Reardon in an email to parents.
