"Parents, talk to children, please, that this behavior is unacceptable. If this is adults, it's dumb. Either way, it does carry a criminal penalty," said Owass PD in a Facebook post.

Residents are asked to be on the lookout for anyone carrying darts, a blowgun, or acting suspiciously in the area. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Owasso Police Department’s non-emergency line.
