Footage of teh incident, released by the Bernalillo County Sheriff\u2019s Office, reveals the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >boys initially disregarding police orders<\/a> to put the weapon down. A female officer attempted to reassure them they wouldn&#8217;t face trouble, but as the standoff progressed, the 9-year-old took the gun from the 7-year-old and hid it, only for the younger child to reclaim it shortly after.<\/p>\n<p>After attempting to de-escalate for about five minutes, police resorted to firing a non-lethal projectile nearby, prompting the 7-year-old to point the gun at the officers. They then fired another non<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-heavily-armed-antifa-clashes-with-right-wing-protesters-outside-oregon-capitol-three-arrested\/\" title=\"WATCH: \u2018Heavily Armed\u2019 Antifa Clashes With Right-Wing Protesters Outside Oregon Capitol, Three Arrested\">-lethal round<\/a>, which successfully lead them to safely disarm the boys. Sheriff John Allen emphasized that the use of drone technology helped prevent a potentially fatal confrontation.<\/p>\n<p>In the aftermath, the sheriff&#8217;s office decided not to press charges, as the case involved minors, and instead focused on the responsibilities of the parents under the Bennie Hargrove Gun Safety Act, which aims to hold gun owners accountable for children accessing firearms. Following the incident, the boys received therapy and are now on juvenile probation, while their parents are also undergoing treatment and legal portrayal to address the situation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Drone footage showed the tense moment a 7-year-old boy pointed a pistol at police in Bernalillo County, New Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>The Bernalillo County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office just released the footage Thursday, but the standoff unfolded on Feb. 16, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kob.com\/new-mexico\/video-bcso-safely-disarms-young-children-with-gun\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KOB<\/a> in Albuquerque.<\/p>\n<p>Deputies that day were responding to a call at the home, which they had visited before, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.krqe.com\/news\/albuquerque-metro\/bcso-considers-charging-parents-of-kids-caught-with-gun\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KRQE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WARNING: The following video contains images that some may find offensive.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">ALBUQUERQUE NM &mdash;
