Introduction

Police in Canada tell high school students to stop playing a game. This game is dangerous.

Main Body

Students use water guns to hit other students. Police say these guns look like real guns. Because of this, police went to schools in Ontario and Alberta. They thought there were real weapons. Some students also hit people who are not in the game. In Kenora, a student sprayed water on a homeless man. This is a crime. The man was cold and sick because of the water. Schools say this game is not allowed. Teachers do not watch the students during the game. It is not safe for the students or the public.

Conclusion

Police and schools say the game is not a joke. Students can go to jail or cause a big accident.
