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.
yesterday and lasted until 9:30.
