A trend started by rapper 21 Savage called "Paintballs Up, Guns Down" was intended to reduce gun violence but has reportedly backfired in several cities. Police in Milwaukee and Greensboro have seen a surge in paintball-related incidents, some of which have escalated into deadly shootings with real firearms. Despite the rapper paying for the funeral of a young victim, law enforcement warns that the trend is terrorizing residents and causing unintended casualties.
