A 16 year old male was arrested by Seattle Police Friday, according to the Seattle Poiice Blotter, after he flashed a stolen handgun. Attempting to ditch it near Sealth High School didn't work.

SPD got a report that the suspect was showing off a handgun to a group of teenagers around 9:30am in the 8600 block of 24th Avenue SW and SW Cloverdale.

The Police Blotter states: "According to a 911 caller, the suspect had flashed a handgun in his waistband, pulled out the clip and then pulled the trigger of the empty weapon.

Police notified nearby Denny Middle School and Chief Sealth High Schools about the incident and began searching for the 16-year-old. Within nine minutes of the initial call, officers found the gun stashed in some bushes in the 8400 block of 26th Avenue SW and discovered it has been reported stolen in Snohomish County. Police found and arrested the 16-year-old minutes later and booked him into the King County Youth Service Center for unlawful possession of a firearm."
