Police report sheds light on gun incident outside Camas school

Documents obtained from the Camas Police Department are shedding light on what happened outside Camas’ Skyridge Middle School on Sept. 24, after an 11-year-old youth football player allegedly threatened other children with firearms stored in his father’s truck.

Camas police officer Steven Jeffries reported in a probable cause document that the juveniles had finished their Clark County Youth Football league practice around 4:45 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 24, and “while some of the kids had already left the Skyridge practice field, others — including the juvenile accused of threatening peers with his father’s guns — were “involved in a game of ‘tag’ where they would run after and tap each other, sometimes hard.”
