Fox News
A TikTok game played in real life called "Assassin," which is popular in high schools, could have bystanders mistake the game with a real-life assault or active shooter situation
It started with a physical tag or water guns, but the challenge escalated to where players - typically high school age - are using paintball and air soft guns that look like real firearms, and videos of the "hits" are uploaded.

But the "hits" look like real violent crimes. In one incident, a player broke into another player's home, according to Police Chief Scott Rifenberg in Cheboygan County, Michigan. In another instance, ski-mask-wearing players ran through a restaurant and came face to face with a licensed concealed pistol carrier.
