A Barrington resident called 911 on Wednesday, March 25, at about 7 a.m. after spotting two people wearing masks lurking in the bushes and “casing” the home.
Police responded to the Haines Park Road residence and located the suspects — police said the suspects were actually students from Bishop Feehan who were playing a game called “senior assassin,” where members of the senior class were competing for a $1,400 cash prize.
Police advised the students and their parents to stop playing the game, especially in light of the recent incidents at Brown University and Lynch Arena. Police said the game could be easily mistaken for a serious incident.
The dispatch report also stated that Barrington Police notified other area departments to address this concern and urge that students refrain from playing this game.
