Juvenile with Airsoft Gun Causes Stir in Woodbury Neighborhood

By the time it was over, the family's decision was clear: they planned to sell the airsoft gun.

Woodbury police at about 7:35 p.m. Tuesday received a call about someone on the deck of a home wearing a mask and possibly pointing a rifle at traffic, said Michelle Okada, public safety spokeswoman.

The home is off Lake Road near Radio and Pioneer drives, she said.

Police set up a perimeter at the scene, but quickly realized it was a juvenile with an airsoft rifle and there was no threat, Okada said. Officers did speak to the child and mother about city ordinances and the dangers of the situation.

They told police they planned to sell the gun, Okada said.

See the city’s website for the weapons ordinance.
