A 19-year-old man was arrested after allegedly pointing a handgun at a crowd of people at the Hub on Campus apartments after midnight on Friday.
According to Eugene Police, two officers responded to the apartments after reports of a trespasser. When the officers arrived, “a group of more than 10 people began to duck and run towards the officers, with a couple people yelling that a man had a gun.”
The officers reportedly observed Kyle Rober Woody, 19, aiming a handgun towards the crowd. Upon seeing the officers, Woody dropped his gun and ran. Officers pursued him on foot with more coming to assist. Officers used a taser on Woody and took him into custody at about 12:30 a.m. on Saturday morning, police say. Woody is not a student at University of Oregon.
