Two reckless adults were recorded on camera encouraging their daughter to say “pow” as they watched the 1-year-old girl put the gun in her mouth. The police later found the video on a cell phone. When questioned, the mother claimed that it was a BB gun. According to investigators, it was actually a .40-caliber handgun. It is not known whether or not if the gun had ammunition in the chamber, though, they say the magazine seemed to have been removed.
