Lightsaber, homemade, shut down Seattle bus tunnel, police say

(CBS/AP) SEATTLE - Police say an abandoned homemade lightsaber was responsible for briefly shutting down the Seattle downtown bus tunnel Sunday night.

A tunnel security guard reportedly found a suspicious looking device and called police, who shut down the tunnel while the bomb squad was called to investigate.

The device was later determined to be the handle of a homemade lightsaber, the fictional laser-saber that Jedis use in the Star Wars universe.

Police say the lightsaber was constructed of a flashlight, a plastic toy, duct tape, battery and a string.

Case closed, tunnel open.
