Boy boards plane with loaded shotgun in Australia

A 17-year-old boy with a loaded shotgun boarded a plane at an Australian airport before being restrained by a pilot and two passengers, police said on Friday. 

The boy was disarmed and detained before police arrived on the scene on Thursday at Avalon Airport in



Victoria State. Barry Clark, a passenger who tackled the suspect, said the boy had posed as a maintenance worker and became agitated when questioned by a flight attendant at the plane’s entrance.

Clark, who disarmed the boy, is a former professional boxer and sheep shearer.
