Police: Man fired gun at Salem protest, no one hurt

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Police say a 75-year-old Keizer man was arrested after firing a shotgun Thursday night near a group of protesters at the Salem Police Department station. The Statesman Journal reports police said Larry McFarland drove up to about 20 people protesting the death of a 13-year-old boy by a Chicago police officer. Police say McFarland stepped out of his vehicle with the shotgun, pointed it at the crowd and fired it into the air. Salem Police said no one was injured. Police say officers ordered him to drop his weapon but he refused and left. Police say officers conducted a high-risk traffic stop nearby and arrested him. It wasn’t immediately known if McFarland has a lawyer.
