Errrrrr. Embarrassing? A Barnegat, N.J., school shut down part of Wednesday after someone reported seeing a ninja running through the woods behind the school.
Fearing
for the safety of themselves, the children and anybody appearing to
descend from the ruling class of 15th Century feudal Japan, school
administrators issued an immediate lockdown of the school and phoned
authorities. No word on whether the local dojo was called.
Turns out, the "ninja" was actually a camp counselor in a black karate uniform armed with nothing more than a plastic sword. Haaaaaiiiiiiiya! The counselor was running late to a costume-themed day at a nearby middle school, according to the local police.
The lockdown was issued that morning and lasted for 30 minutes.
