MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A teenager is missing from his North Memphis home after police say he stole his father’s AR-15 rifle and walked out the door.

The Memphis Police Department says 15-year-old Calterius Burke is possibly armed and dangerous. He reportedly left his home in the 800 block of Griffith Place on Wednesday after stealing his father’s rifle in hopes of trading it for two pistols.
