BARNEGAT, N.J. - It's the case of the nonexistent ninja. 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.

Police tell the Asbury Park Press the man was late to a costume-themed day at a nearby middle school.

The lockdown began shortly after 9 a.m. Wednesday and lasted until 9:30.

aw =)

Once at my school a grade eight girl was taking a plastic rifle to acting class to do a skit with and we had a school lock down for about two hours because someone saw her on the street with it sticking out of her backpack. She was super tiny like 5'0 and probably 87 pounds, and the police nabbed her!

I saw this on the crazy GPS things NYC cabs have (which I never knew about, they didn't have them last time I took a cab).

I couldn't believe my eyes.
