Here's more Sydney news from March 14th. A Sydney college campus went to full lockdown Tuesday afternoon after staff spotted a 16-year-old girl carrying what looked like a real gun. It turned out to be just a brightly colored water pistol tied to a popular TikTok game. The game, called Senior Assassin, has high school kids, especially seniors, hunting each other with toy guns to score points by getting them wet. It's gone viral online, but police say it can fool people from a distance. Hundreds of students at Campbelltown TAFE had to hide under deaths around 4.30 p.m. as emergency crews rushed in. Officers swept the buildings to check for threats, treating it like a serious armed incident. Later that evening, police visited the girls' home in Campbelltown, talked to her, and took the water pistol. The lockdown ended once everything was cleared, and families picked up their kids. Now NSW police are warning teens and parents to drop the trend. They stress that reports of weapons get full responses every time, turning fun into a scary

emergency, real fast. Thanks to our sponsor for supporting today's coverage, lay back, press play, let the pillow do the rest, sound meets comfort.
