A pilot retrieved a gun from his truck and stopped an armed teen who was demanding an airplane at Texarkana Regional Airport in Arkansas on Tuesday.
The New York Post reported the teen was armed with an AR-style rifle and had a handgun as well.
CNN noted that the teen “demanded a plane at the front counter while brandishing the guns.” The teen then chambered a round and chaos ensued.
A pilot who saw what was happening ran to his truck and retrieved a gun and pursued the teen, who had “breached security onto the airfield.” The pilot ordered the teen to the ground and the teen complied. The pilot then held the teen at gunpoint for police.
The teen was charged with “aggravated assault, attempted aggravated robbery, and first-degree terrorist threatening.”
The Texarkana Regional Airport released a statement, which said, in part, “We are very thankful that there were no injuries, no lives lost, but really it was through the actions of this pilot and by the staff at Signature Aviation, that their actions saved lives.”
