FRANKLIN, Wis. (WRN) — Police around Wisconsin raise concerns about a game being played by high school students.
Monday morning, police in Franklin conducted a high-risk traffic stop after the report of a naked man with a gun in the middle of the street. Officers later encountered several shirtless people arguing loudly and threatening to kill each other. Police connected the behavior to a game called “Paranoia” in which players are assigned a “target” and have a week to shoot them with a water gun. According to the game’s rules, you cannot be eliminated if you’re naked.
Police in Franklin and other communities in the state are asking the public to let youth know of the seriousness of these incidents connected with the game, and the potential consequences that may result.
The person found naked was arrested for disorderly conduct.
