JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — It’s a dangerous game being played by high school seniors in many parts of the country. It’s called the “Senior Assassins.” It’s an unofficial tradition for seniors to use water guns to “eliminate their target.”
It was nearly deadly Wednesday in Yulee when an off-duty Florida Department of Law Enforcement agent saw three people prowling outside their home early Wednesday holding what appeared to be a gun. The agent shot one of them in the arm.
