School Mistakes Burrito for a Weapon

A call about a possible weapon at a middle school prompted police to put armed officers on rooftops, close nearby streets and lock down the school. All over a giant burrito. Someone called authorities Thursday after seeing a boy carrying something long and wrapped into Marshall Junior High. The drama ended two hours later when the suspicious item was identified as a 30-inch burrito filled with steak, guacamole, lettuce, salsa and jalapenos and wrapped inside tin foil and a white T-shirt.
“I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry,” school Principal Diana Russell said.
I’m doing the former.
I’m not so sure a burrito that big isn’t a weapon. I’d hate to ride home on the bus with that kid.
“Drop the Burrito and back away, sir.”
Just like the old Taco Bell chalupa ad. Life imitates art.
