(Portland, OR) -- A 15-year-old boy is facing attempted murder and arson charges after a standoff with police ended in a house fire Friday in Northwest Portland. Officers say the teen, in mental health crisis, had been damaging his home with a hammer before the blaze broke out in the garage.

Police tracked the teen from the air and on the ground until he surrendered, and he was later booked into juvenile detention after receiving medical care.
