March 6Mar 6 That's not a shotgun. This is a shotgun! https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/mar/06/avalon-airport-melbourne-man-detained-alleged-firearm-gun-ntwnfb Quote Police are investigating after a 17-year-old allegedly boarded a Jetstar flight with a shotgun and ammunition, frightening passengers who described a dramatic citizen’s arrest. +++++++++ Barry in seat 1C ‘confident I could handle him’ Barry Clark was sitting in seat 1C on flight JQ 610 and tackled the teenager to the ground once he realised he allegedly had a weapon. “The lovely air hostess was just questioning this bloke trying to come on dressed up as a worker,” Clark told ABC Radio. “He got agitated, and before we know it, there was a gun, a shotgun appeared. “All I could do was push [the flight attendant] out of the way, get the gun out of the way, break that, throw it down the stairs, and then put him in a hold and throw him to the ground until the police come.” +++++++ “You don’t think, you act. I’ve been taught from a boy to be responsible and look after others. And we’re a sporting family, so I was quietly confident I could handle him … so you just gotta do what you gotta do.”
