Teachers at a US primary school terrified children by staging a fake gun attack and shouting: "This isn't a drill!" The 69 pupils, aged 10 and 11, cried and hid under tables as the lights went out and a hooded teacher pulled at the locked door, reports the Daily Mirror. Then the teachers turned on the lights and said it was just a joke. Parents are furious, especially after last month's Virginia Tech massacre in which 33 students and staff died. Bosses of the school in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, said the five-minute "prank" was intended as a "learning experience". Principal Catherine Stephens said it was "poor judgment" but added: "I hope we learn from this." The school website claimed children were warned a prank would be played and afterwards "most said, 'That was a good one, you got me'. But it admitted: "This prank crossed the line... prompt and appropriate discipline will be taken." www.ananova.com
