Man holds Gorge airport burglary suspect at gunpoint until police arrive

A burglary suspect at the Columbia Gorge Airport was held face-down on the ground at gunpoint until law enforcement arrived at the scene.

The Klickitat County Sheriff’s Office was called out to the airport near Dallesport, WA at 2:42 a.m. Friday.

Investigators said a burglar had smashed out the windows of the airport’s main office and went inside the building.

The caller to 911 reported hearing the glass breaking downstairs, so he had called for a neighbor to come by, as well.
