Lincoln Police Chief Joe Meister urges caution and courtesy for those playing "Assassin"

 

[April 11, 2024] 

The Lincoln Police Department has become aware of an ongoing game, played by local youths, called “Assassin's.” The game involves the use of water guns to eliminate other players until the “last man standing” wins.

While we appreciate good clean fun, we urge participants to play in a safe manner. The Police Department does not condone the use of water guns with realistic appearance, players wearing masks or attempting to conceal their identity, trespassing on private property at any time or playing in places that may cause alarm to the public, such as businesses. Actions such as these have caused concerns in other communities.

If you are a participant, please use good judgment and be respectful of others and their property while playing.
