Roxbury, Connecticut - An impromptu rendition of Guns N'Roses' Welcome to the Jungle by a custodian at a Connecticut school had police rushing to the rescue after a teacher believed she was going to be killed.
The custodian and two friends, all teenagers, were handcuffed and kept on the ground about 15 minutes by state police called to Booth Free School on Wednesday.
A teacher who was working late misinterpreted the lyrics, which included \"You're in the jungle baby; you're going to die\" and were being blared over the public address system, as a threat.
A number of school shootings and threats over the past year in the US have many on edge.
But in this instance, the six troopers and three police dogs who responded to the distress call found the three teens exercising their vocal chords over the school's public address system.
Sergeant Brian Ness said the group did not realise the teacher was in the school and will not face charges.
\"These things happen,\" Van Ness said.
\"Luckily it was humorous. You kind of have a gut feeling. As soon as we got there, we spoke to the three kids. They understood.\" - Sapa-AP
