Portage High School Senior Faces Felony Charge After Water Gun Mistaken for Firearm
A high school senior from Portage, Indiana, Adrian Williams, has been charged with felony intimidation after a water gun he was using in a game was mistaken for a real firearm. The incident occurred during a game of 'Senior Assassin,' a tradition among local high school seniors, where participants use water guns to 'eliminate' each other. Police were called to a Planet Fitness location after receiving reports of a man with a gun, leading to a significant police response. Officers found Williams in his car with a water gun that appeared realistic from a distance. The situation was initially perceived as an active shooter threat, prompting a rapid response from multiple officers. Williams was detained and later released on bond, with a court hearing scheduled for April 22.
