Stun Gun Found On Virgin Australia 737

Airline Believes It Fell Out Of A Carry-On Bag

A cabin crew making final checks of a Virgin Australia 737 before takeoff Friday reported found a stun gun. It's believed to have fallen out of a passenger's bag as a flight attendant rearranged items in an overhead bin.

News.com.au reports the Australian Federal Police were called to confiscate the weapon, and stayed to question passengers. Flight DJ229 was delayed only slightly, according to officials at Melbourne Airport.

Virgin Australia spokeswoman Emma Copeman said the airline thoroughly checks flights upon arrival, and the stun gun was not detected when the aircraft arrived arrived at the airport earlier. She adds the airline will be cooperating with police, but does not plan its own investigation to determine how the weapon may have passed through security.

Police stress there was never any danger to passengers on the plane.
