School locked down after 'ninja' sighted in woods. Are we too paranoid?

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.

Seriously ... Ninja? Wow, I would LOVE to hear that 911 call.

"Hello, operator. Yes, I'd like to report a Ninja outside our school. ... What? ... Yes, that's what I said, a Ninja. Well, he was dressed all in black and ... hey, are you laughing?"

To everyone that says overreacting think about Colombine and then answer this question. I would rather they overreact and my cjild be safe than underreact and she be harmed.
