Guns N' Roses song mistaken for death threat

A teacher at the Booth Free School in Roxbury, Connecticut thought she was being threatened when she heard the words, "You're in the jungle, baby, you're gonna die," screamed over the public address system. Clearly, she wasn't a Guns N' Roses fan or she would have realized these were the lyrics to the song "Welcome to the Jungle." The teacher, who thought she was alone in the building after hours on Wednesday (December 12th), called police and barricaded herself in her classroom.

When the police arrived, they found three teenagers, one of whom was a custodian at the school, playing at karaoke with the public address system. Police cuffed the teenagers and investigated, but promptly released the would-be singers when they realized the kids thought they were alone in the building and hadn't meant any harm. "These things happen," Sergeant Brian Van Ness told the Associated Press. "Lucky, it was humorous. You kind of have a gut feeling. As soon as we got there, we spoke to the three kids. They understood."
