Pokemon Go teens shot at after mistaken for burglars

Two teenagers playing Pokemon Go late at night in their car in Florida were shot at by a householder who mistook them for burglars, police say.

The BBC reports that the man said he shot at their car after they refused to stop when he challenged them on Saturday. They were not hurt. He said that earlier he had heard the pair say “did you get anything”?

Police in Florida have used the incident as an opportunity to issue guidelines for teenagers and parents on safely playing the game.
