No, Seriously: School in Lockdown After 'Ninja' Sighting

Posted by Madeline Holler

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.

Blog posts like this tend to comment on current news stories, and this was pretty well covered--at least in the Northeast--when it occurred. I was just curious if there was some new development. The first paragraph makes is sound like it just happened this week (i.e., "shut down part of Wednesday.") Sorry if the previous post sounded snarky, I was just trying to clarify.
