0:50Now PlayingShocking video showed two boys, aged 7 and 9, armed with a loaded firearm in a standoff with law enforcement in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Drone footage showed the two boys dressed in Minecraft and Star Wars-themed clothing as they stood behind a covered unit. The handgun was clearly visible in their hands, and they passed the weapon between one another.
According to The Albuquerque Journal, deputies fired a less-lethal round to distract the boys, and one of the kids raised the gun and pulled the trigger.
Sheriff John Allen told the outlet that the gun malfunctioned but had it gone off, "our deputies could have taken deadly force."
The Journal also quoted Allen as saying the BCSO had been called to the home at least 50 times due to issues with the boys and their family.
