PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- A Salem 15-year-old with a loaded semiautomatic rifle was arrested outside a restaurant in Northeast Portland on Monday, police said.
A caller told police about the teen with a black-and-red painted rifle around 11:35 a.m., but believed the gun was a fake. The teen was walking away with a group of underage people when officers arrived at NE 81st and Flanders.
The teen had the loaded .223 caliber semiautomatic with him, police said, and took him into custody without anyone being hurt. He was booked into the Multnomah County juvenile detention facility for unlawful possession of a loaded gun, unlawful possession of a gun and a probation violation from a previous Portland case.
The gun, which was seized as evidence in the case, will be tested and analyzed by police.
No further information is available at this time.
