HILLSBORO, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon teenager has been sentenced to 19 months in prison for pointing a gun at his younger sister’s head and later firing it into the air.
The Oregonian reports that 18-year-old Angel Alexander Negron of Hillsboro pleaded guilty to unlawful use of a weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Hillsboro police said Negron had been pointing the gun at stuffed animals before he held it close to his 16-year-old sister’s face and asked her what she would do if someone pointed a gun at her and demanded money.
Police said he then went outside their house and fired one shot into the air.
