The teenager entered through a hole in a security fence at Avalon airport, then made his way to a plane with about 160 passengers aboard, Victoria police superintendent Michael Reid told reporters.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;As he approached the plane, he&#8217;s mounted or climbed the front stairs to the front of the plane,&#8221; he said. &#8220;At that point, passengers have identified that male was carrying a firearm. The male was overpowered by three of the passengers, at least.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> No one was injured, and the police took the boy into custody.<\/p>\n<p> Reid said the boy had a shotgun and &#8220;there was ammunition located with the firearm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> The plane had been scheduled to fly to Sydney on a flight operated by Qantas budget offshoot Jetstar.<\/p>\n<p> Police were in contact with counterterrorism investigators but it was too early to establish a motive, Reid said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No doubt this would have been a very terrifying incident for the passengers,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Victoria Police really commend the bravery of those passengers who were &#8230; able to overpower that male.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> The boy appeared to be acting alone in the afternoon incident and was not known to police.<\/p>\n<p> It is &#8220;very concerning that a person can firstly breach security, approach an aircraft and then make his way potentially close to being inside an aircraft with a firearm,&#8221; Reid said.<\/p>\n<p> It was not known if he had cut the hole in the airport security fence, or if it was already there.<\/p>\n<p> Video of the incident aired by Australia&#8217;s Channel Nine showed a boy in a fluorescent green jacket \u2014 similar in color to those worn by ground staff \u2014 being pinned to the floor by a passenger and a pilot.<\/p>\n<p> A flight attendant walks past the melee carrying what appears to be the butt of a shotgun.<\/p>\n<p> Passenger Barry Clark, a wool shearer from a rural town in Victoria, said the teen was &#8220;dressed as a worker&#8221; or some kind of &#8220;technician.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> He appeared to be &#8220;agitated,&#8221; Clark told national broadcaster ABC.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Before we knew it, there was a gun \u2014 a shotgun appeared \u2014 and I was worried about there being shots,&#8221; Clark said. &#8220;All I could do was get the gun out of the way. And then put him in a hold and throw him to the ground until the police came. I&#8217;ve been taught from a boy to be responsible and look after others and we&#8217;re a sporting family, so I was quietly confident I could handle him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Another passenger, identified only as Woodrow, told ABC he joined Clark, the pilot and another man to help hold the boy down after the struggle broke out.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We were all boarded, I was last on, sat in my chair, heard a kerfuffle, and saw the pilot and this other guy tackling this young boy in a high-vis vest,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p> Jetstar said it was working with police and airport authorities investigating the incident.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We know this would have been a very distressing situation,&#8221; it said in a statement. &#8220;We are sincerely grateful to the customers who assisted our crew to safely manage the situation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the U.S., the Transportation Security Administration has dealt with a steadily rising number of firearm interceptions at its checkpoints across airports nationwide in recent years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The agency said it <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/tsa-firearm-interceptions-airport-security-checkpoints-first-quarter-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">intercepted more than 1,500 firearms<\/a><\/span> at airport checkpoints in the first quarter of 2024, averaging 16.5 firearms per day during that period. That represented a slight decrease year-on-year, and the agency noted that it came amid a nearly 8% surge in the overall number of flyers.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\"
