"I had enormous respect for Pope Francis through his pontificate.”

The Winnipeg Police Service is warning about a growing social media trend resurfacing in local high schools involving graduating students and a live-action game known as “Assassin.”

The game sees players—typically Grade 12 students—attempt to “eliminate” each other using water pistols in an effort to be the last person standing, according to a release from police.

While intended as harmless fun among peers, the WPS points out that the game often extends beyond school property and can occur at any time of day, potentially alarming the general public.
