Not only is it dangerous for those being shot at, it is dangerous for individuals with the toy guns as they could be mistaken for real guns.” Police Chief Keith Brothers asks parents and guardians to please, discuss the dangers and consequences of this type of behavior with your children.  Brothers says “We cannot stress enough the dangers involved in these types of activities. Pointing a gun at someone whether it is real or fake, can result in dire consequences. Please take the opportunity to speak with children about social media platforms mindfully and ensure they understand the ramifications of participating in this type of trend.”
