High schooler faces terrorism charge after playing ‘Senior Assassination’ game in hospital

An 18-year-old high school student was arrested Wednesday on a felony threat of terrorism charge after he allegedly ran into a hospital carrying a Nerf gun as part of a “Senior Assassination” game.

On April 30, two young males allegedly entered Jordan Valley Hospital with what appeared to be a gun and “asked if it was a hospital,” according to court documents. Witnesses said they then took off running.

Police responded to the hospital and surrounded the building as detectives and security guards weighed whether they should lockdown the building.
