Serrano works at Bonehead Paintball near Flamingo and Maryland Parkway. He has nearly two decades of experience with this activity. He says, the game is fun and safe when played properly. However, the velocity of an unleashed paintball could potentially break skin.
Therefore, workers at Bonehead Paintball make sure you are in a controlled and supervised setting. A face mask is required to play.
"If you get shot with that in the face, you will lose an eye instantly," he said.
Police are also stressing that paintball is not a game when it's played on the streets with unsuspecting victims.
They are asking the public to help identify the perpetrators.
