New Mexico Police Use Non-Lethal Force to Disarm Armed Boys, 7 and 9 [View all]

This could have ended up real bad.


Troubling video shows Bernalillo County deputies trying to safely disarm two young boys holding a loaded handgun.
The sheriff’s office says this is just one example of the challenges they face every day.
Drone footage shows the boys, around 7 and 9-years-old. This happened on Feb.16. but BCSO just released it Thursday.
The sheriff’s office says their drone allowed them to manage the high-risk situation. They were able to get the gun away from the kids without anyone getting hurt.
