Ninja scare results in school lockdowns

From the 'You've got to be kidding me!' file:

Barnegat, NJ schools were put into "lockdown" because someone saw a "ninja" (turned out to be a camp counselor in a karate uniform going to a costume party). Lesson learned by students: security alerts are bogus, grownups are idiots.

Public schools in Barnegat were locked down briefly after someone reported seeing a ninja running through the woods behind an elementary school.

Turns out the ninja was actually a camp counselor dressed in black karate garb and carrying a plastic sword.

Yep ... lesson learned! 'Grown-ups' are idiots!
Then again we are talking New Jersey here ...
