CLOVIS, N.M. - 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 jalapeños and wrapped inside tin foil and a white T-shirt.
"I didn't know whether to laugh or cry," school Principal Diana Russell said.
State police, Clovis police and the Curry County Sheriff's Department arrived at the school shortly after 8:30 a.m. They searched the premises and determined there was no immediate danger.

Carpe burrito!!!!!!
Are you referring to the burrito itself or the after-effects?
When burritos are outlawed only outlaws will have burritos!
They can have my burrito when they pry it from my cold dead fingers!
Don't these kids deserve a trial before being incarcerated?
Not really being trained for this sort of event I would have been tempted to said "Hey (insert name here , principals should know this) what ya got there? If you really want seek something in to school learn to play the bari saxophone we almost got a small freshman in the case once but his ears were to big.
For a Stealth burrito?
Advertising is a part of marketing which is tied to Economics; something which should be manadatory in school. Besides, isn't an advertising class more cerebral than Contraception 101?
Is that muskie semi or full atomatic?

Ugh. Unpleasant.
But on a more pleasant subject, the missus and I and the owners of Idaho Knife Works went to hear Ted Nugent this last weekend up at the Silver Mountain Resort.
Wow! He's a madman, but he's our kind of madman. A real American. He hit the stage full tilt and guns up and didn't let up for a minute. Haven't had that much fun in a while.
He ended the show by shooting flaming arrows at his amps.
The second time was right after the Ted Nugent album came out. My ears rang for days after that show.
I try to catch his "Call Of The Wild" tv show when I can. He sure is one of the good guys.
On another subject, the Ishy Enfields are back. AIMsurplus has got 'em. It's a toss up between another one of those and the alloy Browning Hi Powers they've got in stock.
Decisions decisions.
