Public schools in Barnegat, NJ were locked down for a short time 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 a black karate outfit and carrying a plastic sword.
Police reported that 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.
