Teen playing 'Assassins' game detained in Freeport

Police in Freeport are warning students participating in a potentially dangerous tradition to be careful. It's called the "Assassins" game and it's already resulted in police detaining a student who neighbors thought was a potential gunman lying in wait. KDKA-TV's Ross Guidotti has more.

I watched a video from this TV station, telling me that a bunch of Pennsylvania State police officers shot a guy multiple times because he was holding some knives. No one used mace, no one used a stun gun, they just shot the guy down and he wasn’t near them, and wasn’t attempting to stab them. I’m just glad that they didn’t gun this kid down because they’re so scared to death nowadays that they’ll overreact and they do and it usually ends up costing them tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars in settlement when they shoot someone they shouldn’t. Don’t give me this business about they thought it😅 was a real gun, kids have been doing this since my time yesteryear the early 50s. The news media is complicit in scaring people.
With respect to the Pennsylvania state police, shooting the guy with the knives, they’re spending their time so they all get their story straight. Hopefully there is some surveillance video available. Independent of any may be on the troopers cars. The Pennsylvania State police and the police in this town need or should have, or do have body cameras, I can assure you the Pennsylvania State police don’t have them, they’ll fight this tooth and nail.
