SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) -- A 15-year-old Sheboygan teen is in custody after police say he took a hunting rifle to a girl's house and pointed the weapon at her at her front porch.

Police say the incident happened Friday afternoon and the 15-year-old's case will be turned over to juvenile authorities.

They say a 16-year-old boy who arrived at the girl's house wrestled with the boy, took the gun and pinned him down.

Captain Steve Cobb says the older boy's actions prevented a quote "much more serious crime from taking place."

He says 15-year-old intended to harm someone and the girl was in fear for her life.

Police say no names have been released because all involved are juveniles.
