It wasn’t a gun that caused police to lock down Marshall Junior High School in Clovis. It was a burrito.
Police locked the school down after a citizen saw a student walking into school with a long, skinny object wrapped in a white cloth. He thought it was a gun and called police.
Officers searched for the student while the school was on lockdown. But the student came forward first, admitting he had what they were looking for – a two-and-a-half-foot-long burrito.
The student had taken the burrito, wrapped in foil and a white cloth, to present in a culinary career class. It was loaded – with meat and beans.
Police called the incident a good exercise for all of the officers who responded to the school.
One observer joked that with the right combination of ingredients, the burrito could have been a deadly weapon.
