Extra-credit burrito leads to school scare

[Timex]

A concerned citizen spotted a male juvenile carrying a suspiciously concealed item into Marshall Junior High School early Thursday morning.

Police were called. The school was locked down. Adjacent streets were closed and law officers were perched on roofs with weapons.

The drama ended about two hours later when the suspicious item was identified:

A 30-inch burrito, prepared as an extra-credit assignment and wrapped inside tinfoil and a white T-shirt.

You know this world is getting crazy when a kid can't carry a wrapped burrito to school without someone thinking it's a weapon... Everyone is on guard after all the school shooting sprees...

30" is a huge burrito! I am glad the school took no chances by putting their security system in place. If that had turned out to be a gun, all hell would have broken loose.

Better to be safe than sorry!
