High school senior Isaac Leal, 17, fighting for life after falling from car while playing viral ‘Senior Assassin’ game
A HIGH school senior is said to be fighting for his life in hospital after falling from a car while playing a viral game.
Isaac Leal, 17, has been left in a critical condition – just weeks before he was set to graduate high school.
Leal was playing Senior Assassin – a game that involves water guns and is popular among teens his age group.
The teen jumped onto the back of a car before his target, who was inside the motor, drove at high speeds.
Devastated mom Raquel Vazquez revealed Leal fell off the vehicle when it hit a bump in the road.
“It was literally six turns and it ended up being five minutes, so that’s five minutes of him holding on for his life,” his dad Jose told the CBS affiliate KTVT-TV.
He was rushed to the hospital in a critical condition and was put on life support.
But, fears are mounting that he will not make a full recovery.
Senior Assassin is a viral game using water guns.
Players must download an app that points out where their opponents are based.
And, players use the toy guns to squirt water at them.
Once a player has been targeted, they are then eliminated from the game.
Leal’s family have urged local cops to launch a probe.
Only an ambulance rushed to the scene where Leal fell off the moving car.
Cops have described what happened as an “accident.”
“I understand accidents happen, but this was not an accident,” Raquel raged.
HEFTY CONSEQUENCES
Schools in Texas have warned that students who play the game risk being expelled.
Meanwhile, the game has also increased in popularity across Canada.
This has prompted cops to issue a warning about guns.
This is because some toy guns or replica weapons look like their real counterparts, as reported by CBC.
“There is often no way to tell if the weapon is real prior to investigation,” York cops said.
“Replica firearms, air guns, gel guns or toy guns used in the commission of another offence are considered legitimate weapons and those responsible will face significant criminal charges.”
Cops have warned students to use water guns that are bright colors and can be easily distinguished.
