The Sahuarita Police Department said a student brought a toy gun to Anza Trail School.
The game usually pits students against each other in an elimination-style format. The students use water or other toy guns to take out the competition with the hopes of being the last one standing.
Tuesday’s investigation began when a staff member saw the student with a gun, called 911, and said the eighth-grade boy had just graduated from the school.
The staff member said the student then left campus.
Officers found the student’s parent, who told officers where he was located.
“The investigation revealed the juvenile had brought an Orbeez-style toy as part of an end-of-the-year prank known as Senior Assassin,” the SPD said in a release. “Additionally, officers located the toy gun and confirmed it was not an actual firearm and was not loaded with any sort of projectiles.”
The SPD said the boy didn’t have any other weapons, and it was determined that there was no threat.

“The Sahuarita Police Department takes these types of reports very seriously and truly appreciates the community for reporting suspicious activity,” the SPD said. “We are truly appreciative for the trust and relationship between SUSD, the community and the Sahuarita Police Department.”
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call 911, 520-351-4900, or 520-344-7000.
As 13 News has reported, students have nearly died or gone to jail over the game. Tuesday’s incident comes despite repeated warnings from law enforcement agencies across the country about the game.
