Batman sighting puts schools on lockdown |
2007-02-15 |
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) To an Arizona middle school, Batman! Three schools in the north Phoenix suburb of Cave Creek were on lockdown for about 45 minutes Wednesday morning after a student at Desert Arroyo Middle School reported seeing a person dressed as Batman run across campus, jump a fence and disappear into the desert, Scottsdale police Sgt. Mark Clark said. The student described the person as 6 feet 3 inches tall and possibly male. Can't be Bruce Wayne, he's 6' 2''. "We're assuming it was male, although they did have a mask on," Clark said. Officers combed the desert around the middle school. A nearby elementary school and high school also were on lockdown as officers sought the caped crusader. The result - no Batman. Well, he IS a master of escape. "It's just one of those interesting little stories that we looked into but we couldn't find anyone," Clark said. Nedda Shafir, a spokeswoman for the Cave Creek Unified School District, said putting all the schools on lockdown was a precautionary measure. "We didn't want to take any chances," Shafir said. "We just don't want to put anyone at risk." |

#1 Next we'll be hearing about a lockdown caused by a chipmunk sighting. By the way, I thought lockdowns applied to prisons. How ironic. |
