DOUGLAS COUNTY—Law enforcement are investigating an apparent senior prank that went wrong.

According to Lawrence Police, the prank was not funny. "Walking toward a school wearing camo with the gun shown in the photo causes concern and an immediate response from police. "Close up, you can tell it’s a water gun. The person driving near Free State High School could not and called 911."

"There are much more creative ways to enjoy the last days of your Senior year than causing fear and a school lockout."
