School closed after Ninja sighting

[galaxy21]

BARNEGAT —A ninja sighting in the woods near the Robert L. Horbelt Elementary School prompted a brief lockdown of the township's public schools before authorities realized the suspect in question was actually a camp counselor heading toward a costume party.

Shortly after 9 a.m. Wednesday, police received a call from a librarian at the local Ocean County Library branch on Burr Street reporting that a man dressed as a ninja, carrying a large sword, was running through the woods, Lt. Patrick Shaffery said. Police than initiated a lock-down of the five schools as a precaution, police said.

The lock-down — which restricts movement in and out of school buildings — was lifted by 9:30 a.m. after police learned the man in question was actually a camp counselor on his way to a costume-themed day at the Russell O. Brackman Middle School. The counselor, who was wearing a black karate gi and carrying a plastic sword, was running late and decided to take a shortcut through the woods, Shaffery said.
