Teen boy armed with a rifle and gun demands a plane be given to him A teenage boy allegedly stormed into an airport with an assault-style rifle and a gun and demanded an plane.
He walked into a business at the airport, Signature Aviation, and brandished ‘both a rifle and handgun’ at the front counter and called for a plane, according to the Texarkana Arkansas Police Department.
The 15-year-old boy went into Texarkana Regional Airport in Arkansas from the general aviation side ‘demanding an airplane’ around 7.30am on Tuesday, authorities said.
Just over a week ago, the worst aviation disaster since 2001 befell the nation, when an American Airlines plane and a Black Hawk helicopter collided and fell into a river in Washington, DC.
The teen was ‘subdued quickly without any injuries’ and arrested, according to the regional airport.
