WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. — Tuesday marked the beginning of “Water Assassins” season for the Class of 2024 at Windsor Locks High School, police said in a public advisory.

“Basically, WLHS seniors will attempt to shoot each other with water guns in different areas of town,” a Facebook post from the Windsor Locks Police Department read on Monday.

The Facebook post was meant to inform residents that the senior activity began the following morning before the beginning of Tuesday’s school day.

“They may wait outside another student’s house waiting for them to exit. They may hide behind cars, in bushes, behind houses, etc. Just be aware that they may be… acting suspicious,” the Facebook post read.

Windsor Locks police encourage residents to be on the lookout for students who are participating in the game but did note that the police are available if a student takes the activity too far.

“Please contact WLPD if anyone encounters a WLHS student who takes this game beyond its intention, is rude to you during an interaction or commits a crime,” the Facebook post read.
