Suspected Bomb Causes School Lockdown

(Clovis, New Mexico) Marshall Junior High School was locked down after a kid was seen carrying a suspected bomb.

Police put armed officers on rooftops and closed nearby streets. But the security alert was lifted a couple of hours later after officers identified the suspicious object as a 30-inch burrito, stuffed with steak, guacamole, lettuce, salsa and jalapenos. It was wrapped in foil and a white T-shirt.

Principal Diana Russell said that eighth-grader Michael Morrissey created the giant burrito as an extra-credit marketing assignment.

Salsa, jalapenos! I do believe that ultimately there will be some type of explosion. (Hat tip: Expat Rob)
