Briefly

York Regional Police have issued a warning to parents and teenagers regarding the risks posed by replica firearms, particularly in connection with the game 'Senior Assassin.' This game involves players using water guns or foam darts to eliminate opponents, leading to confusion when real and replica firearms are involved. Recent reports of incidents involving young people carrying items resembling guns prompted police to stress the seriousness of weapon calls. They reminded the public that all firearms reports are treated as real until proven otherwise and highlighted the legal consequences of using replica firearms.
“Citizens should be aware that when police respond to any call involving a firearm, it is treated as legitimate until an investigation can determine otherwise.”
“There is often no way to tell if the weapon is real prior to investigation...those responsible will face significant criminal charges.”
