New Mexico School Locked Down After Huge Burrito Mistaken For Weapon

A suspicious item the prompted the lockdown of a middle school here and a massive police response turned out to be a giant burrito containing steak, guacamole, lettuce, salsa, and jalapenos.

A concerned citizen called authorities Thursday morning after seeing a male student carrying a suspiciously concealed item into Marshall Junior High School.

In addition to the lockdown, adjacent streets were closed and police were perched on roofs with weapons.

The drama ended two hours later when the suspicious item was identified as a 30-inch burrito wrapped inside tin foil and a white T-shirt.
